6er from the lcbo.
Sweet corny malts, little to no hops. Astringent bitter finish, corn mash flavor, cooked veggies are evident. Thisis pretty bad.

nice roasty aroma with touches of brown sugar, and some coffee. a smooth creamy mouthfeel, with more roast, and coffee, a nice porter, nothing extraordinary, but solid.

nice dark redish brown color. quite clear. small off white head that dissipates quickly. Slight malt in the aroma, not as much as i expected, its more fruity. Flavour is rich, and full of dark ripe fruit, such as figs, and berries. The malt is there, but not as prominent as you would expect in a doppelbock. A good beer, but not very akin to the style.

Quite pale, with a thin head. Bright. Buttery, with some bitterness. Low malt, kinda thin. Also buttery. Finishes with a herbaceous hop and fucking butter.

Pale purple. Opaque. Thin head. I mean there's blackberry puree stuff in there, but the malts are weak and there's a hint of diacetyl.

Opaque, dull-looking, with a thin head. Light fruity note, a bit of pale malt. Sort of thing, light. Just sort of there, for a saison.

(On tap) Clear amber brown with small white head. Subtle toffee aroma with hints of tea. Medium body with bright carbonation. Taste of toffee with herbal notes and some soft bitterness in finish. Easy drinking beer.
