A Fullers pub in the center of town. Two casks, a dozen taps and similar number of bottles. Primarily Fullers beers but also guests on the menu. Many beers out of stock on my visit, tables that needed wiping and so-so food.

Small store in touristy area with beer in the front, and wine and spirits in the back. Small number of offerings but nicely curated with a couple of new Belgians I had not had before. Worth checking out if around Pulteney Bridge.

On tap at the Bicycle Thief in Halifax. Pours a hazy yellow with a light head. Aromas and flavors of soft fruity wheat. Mild and a bit watery. Easy to drink but not memorable.

330 ml bottles. Pours a reddish brown with full head. Aromas of vinous wood, oak, plums, tart red berries, a bit of vinegar and sharp toasty malts. Flavors of dusty red wine barrel, slightly tart earthy berries, plums and toasted malts. Not getting much of the Old Bruin from this iteration but interesting.
