Draught at Darby's Kitsilano, Vancouver
Murky dark red-amber colour. Aroma of cherries in liquor, whiff of acetic acid. Nice cherry/plum flavour, not too acidic, but with some acetic acid and yeast.
Messy.

On tap. Pours black with short tan head. As advertised, but really a cardamon bomb with vanilla and creamy roasted malt providing only a small counterpoise

@ Alibi. Purplish-brown colour with some haze, and a thin head. Big plum aroma. Mildly tart up front, but also sweetish with a lot of plum, before finishing with the classic Storm acetic note.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is odd vanilla, maybe some barley in there and weird hops; kind of interesting but strange. Has an okay off-white foam and darker brown body. Flavour is a mix of heavy hops and barley, some IPA notes but not really working well. Mouthfeel is full enough but not crisp. This one is a bit of a miss, seems off and unbalanced. Still drinkable though.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is sweet barley with heavy molasses. Has little foam on a darker brown black body. Flavour is harsh wood sweetness with vague whisky notes drowning out the stout. Full enough on the mouth. This is unbalanced, a lot of things going on here that could be worked together much better than they are.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is wonderful sour grape funk and lambic hints. Has a great bright white pink head and a muddy red body. Flavour is heavy juicy grape funk with wood notes, a little murky though and the flavours could be more pronounced. Mouthfeel is full enough. This is an interesting mix, a nice local attempt at a fruit lambic.

Aroma is very fine yeast and white wine, maybe not intentional but it's great. Has a medium cloudy gold body with a bit of foam. Flavour is nice juicy pineapple with sour notes and a vague pilsner on the back end. Mouthfeel is nice and full, good and refreshing. This is a decent attempt.

Aroma is great tonic, hints of lemon. Appearance is just yellow with no foam. Flavour is an odd mix of tonic and the pilsner hops don't jive together as well as they should. Full enough on the mouth. It's an okay experiment.

Has big cardamom on the nose but nothing else. Looks muddy brown with very little foam. Flavour is soft cardamom with vague vanilla and barley hints. Way too watery on the mouth. There are better stouts here for sure.
