On tap at St. Augustine during 1500 menu event with Alex. Pours a very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is maple syrup, oven roasted fruuts, some chocolate. Taste is similar. Not bad.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy straw colour with a medium, creamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Sweet aroma of wheat malt, banana, yeast and coriander. Sweet flavour of wheat malt, banana, bubblegum, clove, yeast, lemon and a hint of orange with coriander lingering in the finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. More of a hefe than a wit but still ok.

On tap at VCBW Festival 2017, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, some tropical fruitiness and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney and dank hops, tropical stone fruity juiciness and biscuity malt. Reasonably balanced, with a juicy, dank finish. Solid.

Hazy, amber. Looks nice. The aroma is bright El Dorado, with gooseberry, mandarin and some kinda doughy pale malts. These malts end up clashing with juicy hop notes on the palate...and the bitterness is strong as well. Wondering if these hops are more suited to a lighter apa/session ipa/golden ale sort of beer. Still pretty good.

On tap. Pours a dusty gold with moderate head. Aromas of plastic and wheat. Flavors follow same with breadfruit and biscuit. Odd. Not a fan.

650ml bottle. Pours a clear dark brown with red hue and a medium, frothy, long lasting, light brown head that leaves plenty of lace. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, maple syrup, caramel and a hint of vanilla. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, maple syrup and caramel with a bitter coffee finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Decent, this would be their best offering IMO.

On tap at Rogue Kitchen & Wetbar - Broadway, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of coriander upfront, but also some banana and citrus notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with banana, clove and light coriander. Tastes more like a hef. Uninteresting and off-style.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of red wine barrels, followed by perfume, pint thinner and alcohol. Flavour is dominated by the red wine, with plenty of oak, vinous notes, moderate alcohol and absolutely no presence of the maple underneath. Rather harsh, but not as offensive as the BA Irish Red. Okay.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a deep dark red with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of fusel, paint thinner and toasted caramel. Flavour is very harsh, with tons of paint thinner and perfume. An absolute disaster of barrel aging. Not drinkable.

On cask at St. Augustine's, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of root beer and licorice, with light cocoa and lactose. Flavour is very unusual, with combined notes of cocoa, lactose, root beer and licorice. Too dominated by the licorice for me to enjoy this.
