16oz can from Tavour. Very interested in trying this. Clear golden pour, thin creamy layer of white foam. Normal lager aromas, grainy with mild sweetness. The salt turns up immediately in the taste, blending nicely with the crisp bitterness. Bready, biscuity with lingering saltiness on the tongue.

So close to being a great beer. Love the initial citrus-tropical hop notes, love how the pint cleans up to allow crisp pilsner malt to provide a brisk, grassy middle. Just wish there was a stronger floral/pine bitterness on the back end. Finishes kinda bland, lacking the spicy punch you want from a classic pils. Good, not great.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear gold with a moderate white head. Aroma of citrus and peppery spice. Med body or so. Flavor seems to be citrus with a touch of kumquat and a light spice like white pepper. Very dry. Nicely bitter.

Excellent Black IPA from the flower kids at Fonta Flora. Dark roasty notes of coffee and chocolate mixed with classic West Coast IPA citrus and pine. Finishes with a nice mix of dark beer maltiness and bitter hops. Tasty.

Big, ugly, murky, and undercarbonated, but still decent. Big juicy notes of melon and mango and creamsicle, with a pine backbone and lingering vanilla sweetness. A better example of a style I grow more tired of everyday.

750ml @ Phill's shared with Farees, Josh, and Ryan.
Aroma: cinnamon, bold, some sweetness.
Taste: along the same lines, quite a lot of cinnamon, smooth, balanced.
Overall: nice one for those who like cinnamon stouts.

Dark brown No head. Oh wow, the cinnamon and apple brandy is all over the aroma. On the palate, it's got a soft dark malt base, with light apple brandy, again lots of cinnamon. Has some of this faded? It seems almost balanced. A good sweet sugar note here. Good richness here, solid barrels and adjuncts, it's got a fair bit of complexity.

750 ml bottle dated July 2024. Aroma is bold pistachio light vanilla. Even after all this time, booze is forward here. Still shows pistachios and vanilla. Just a stronger bourbon character. Good.

Delicious brown ale, with tasty notes of cocoa, toasted pumpernickel, cascara, apple, and chestnuts, with a gentle nutty bitterness on the back end. Excellent brown ale.
