Bottle - Coffee notes and a touch of cocoa. Deep brown and a small brown head. Light malty and coffee notes. A bit boring, coffee could be better.

Tasting at Matt’s
Dark brown color, medium sized head. Delicate aroma of roasted malts and dark bread. Not too dry, pleasant roasted notes, a lot of bread crust, and a hint of chocolate in the end. Pleasant.

650mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of brings out a good mix of coffee and lactose. Flavour is along the same lines, with fairly rich coffee upfront, followed by a good lactose infusion. Balanced well, with a medium body. Finishes rather roasty. Nice stuff.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a deep dark bronze with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of toasted malt and toasted nuts. Flavour is along the same lines, with bready malt, a touch of caramel and toasted nuts. Pretty weak and unambitious. Not offensive, but it's not good.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy orange with a medium off-white head. Aroma brings out a good mix of piney and resinous hops, along with Belgian yeast and caramel malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with Belgian yeast upfront, followed by bitter piney hops, and just enough biscuity malt. Not great balance, and the palate is quite abrasive. More Belgian yeast than lots of hops. Decent stuff.

Florals and some citrus. Pours amber with good head and lacing. Bittersweet finish with tangy aftertaste. Good balance. Well done hybrid that leans more toward the Belgian end of things. Tap at St augustines.

Re rate early-mid 2020: Pours with excellent deep beige foam and blackish brown body. Really good meld of motor oil, cocoa, roasted barley on the nose. Flavour is deep sweetened coffee, chocolate, more roasted barley. Full mouthfeel with some nice dryness from the coffee. I stand by my recommendation, and actually will add a point. Dec 23, 2015 - Nice solid spongy beige head with a jet black body. Aroma of peat, chocolate, coffee, oak. Flavour is a strong sour mix of licorice and chocolate, smooth molasses. Wet finish. Nice and heavy with good intrigue in the aroma and flavour, the best Fernie brew I’ve tried to date. 8 4 7 3 15 = 3.7
