On tap at Storm, pours a pale golden with a small white head. Nose brings out licoricey notes and weird sweetness. Flavour is bizarre, with notes of root beer, licorice and candied sweetness. Pleasant enough, but totally not my thing.

Cask at 12 Kings Pub, Vancouver
Hazy blond color with frothy head. Strong orange aroma, quite evident orange flavor too, bitter orange peel final; the IPA is hidden here, too much, usually their infused beer keep a bit more of the original beer flavor.

Nice aroma of orange peel and festive spices. The mouthfeel is off dry and the cloves are more present.
Not bad, and with some sugars could even be served warm.

Black color, small frothy head. Some aroma of chocolate, booze.
Quite chocolatey, although lean and not thick, with a minty touch. A bit roasty in the final. Smooth and pleasant. Sweeter final.

The fir adds a mild edge to the aroma, the flavor is less impacted, although it gets a bit resiny. The final is dry and a bit papery.
Not bad.

Nice fruity aroma, orange juice. The flavor is balanced, but the ginger is evident; dry finish.
Among spiced beers, a very good one.

The vanilla appears in the front, perfumy, talc, then a hint of ginger. Smooth and dry, strange flavor, it feels like drinking a bottle of old lady perfume.
Not good.

On tap at Storm, pours a dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out Christmas spices and lots of oranges. Flavour is about the same - not really very tasty, but drinkable. It is what it advertises. Not my thing.

Dark brown color. As often happens with coffee beers, the aroma is like old coffee grounds. The alcohol is high and the mouthfeel seems thinner; it has burning chili kick and coffee flavor, boozy.
I’m not sure this is still beer.

Draught at the brewery
Weird aroma; nettles, pineapple, herbs. Seems drier than usual, with a herbal bitterness, a bit dusty.
Weird but not bad.
I just hope that it has some good effect…
