Sampled on tap at Storm, pours a hazy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out a fresh bouquet of rosemary. Flavour is very pleasant, bringing out a mix of rosemary and citrus hops. Excellent balance, and the spices really work well here. Great one.

Sampled on tap at Storm, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Nose is fairly light, with notes of grass and crackery malt. Flavour brings out grassiness and some crispness. Thirst-quenching pils that is well-balanced. Very nice.

On cask at the Alibi Room, pours black with a small beige head. Nose sure smells like a root beer, with a little spice. Flavour tastes just like a root beer, with lots of spice and sweetness. It tastes good on the first couple of sips, but declines after that - too sweet, spicy and soda-like. Not a good experiment.

Draught at the brewery (brewed with Lager yeast, although sold as Ale)
Hazy brown color with almost no head. Mild aroma, very light sourness. Lean mouthfeel, not too dry; caramel flavor, with a mild fruity touch and very light sourness; correct bitterness.
Simple.

Cask at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Cloudy orange-yellow color, with no head. Rather pungent aroma of ginger, some orange juice. Soft and undercarbonated mouthfeel, and maybe too warm for this kind of beer; ginger juice, not too piquant, with peel of bitter orange; unfortunately the bitterness takes a vegetable turn, and in the final there is also a soapy note.
No beer character.

Cloudy blond color. It starts with the lime, in the aroma and then the flavor; the mouthfeel is quite smooth; in the end there is some more from the orange peel.

Cloudy amber color with compact head. Moderate vanilla aroma , although a bit artificial even if they used real vanilla. Smooth but dry mouthfeel, some malt flavor, cake-like, with light vanilla and cinnamon; regular bitterness. Some late sweetness in the end.
Enjoyable as all Brainstorm experiments, but less impressive than others.

Indeed the aroma directly brings to a cinnamon bun, soft and well constructed. The mouthfeel is semi sweet, the cinnamon is present but not overwhelming.
Pleasant beer.

Dark brown color near black. The smell of old coffee grounds is less than exciting, and alcohol; some burnt impression. Moderately sweet, helps to drink the chocolate and coffee mix, lean mouthfeel, pleasant alcoholic presence.
I have to say that, cream and temperature aside, it reminds quite well of the Irish coffee thing.

Troubled dark brown color near black, with small head. Mild chocolate aroma. Smooth mouthfeel; lean but seducing chocolate flavor, while the sweetness is very moderate; very light fruity and sour touch; strong bitterness. Very balanced.
Excellent as is, but I would dare trying with even more cherries.
