16oz on Brian's deck. Appearance: murky brown with a white head. Aroma: coffee, roasted malts, some hoppy character. Taste: along the same lines, some unripe fruits. Overall: pretty good.

473mL can, pours a dirty black with a small beige head. Nose is very dry, with lots of potent earthy hops, and toasted malt. Flavour reveals a nice earthy and piney hop character upfront, with dry bready malt. Really nice hop character, balanced really well by the dry malt. Excellent.

Can. Dark brown, thin head. The base malt comes across weak, like cocoa powder sort of thing, but the hop overtop of that is limonene and pine, which I like. On the palate, the body is fairly full, lots more of those terpenes, big toast, chocolatey malt. Haven't seen too many Black IPAs lately, and I'm pretty happy with this one.

473mL can, pours a deep dark manga onto with a large beige head. Nose seems authentic, with a nice bouquet of candi sugar, dark red fruits, molasses, and gentle esters from the Belgian yeast. Flavour reveals the Belgian yeast upfront, with light bubblegum, red fruits, molasses, candi sugar, and alcohol. It avoids being cloyingly sweet or too bubblegum-y—yay; that's hard for non-Belgian breweries to do apparently. This is well-made.

473mL can, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of oats and moderate toasted malt. Flavour is moderately sweet, with oats, toasted malt, and lactose. Medium-bodied, with just a touch of sweetness. Very good.
