Oakes Profile - Brewver

Hazy, pale amber. Earthy aroma, light vinous character. This has a rich vinous note, and big earthy lambic base, lots of wood. Quite complex, lots of richness on the base, with the grapes coming across with some sweetness.

Midnight Ritual from Able Baker Brewing

1 month ago

7/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Dark brown. Thin head. The cinnamon is solid, good chocolate note. On the palate, it's somewhat thick, with a chocolate focus. It's got a touch of spice. Kind of light for the size.

Reddish colour, no head. Light tartness, mild saskatoon berry, well balanced. Mild, pleasant. Well-balanced. There's a subtle complexity to this that I enjoy.

Cuvée John & Marjon from Brouwerij Alvinne

1 month ago

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Opaque and kind of orangey. No head. Fairly woody, and I get some hop in there but it's not all that bright. Tart, yeasty, with a slight acidity. The yeastiness does seem to reduce the complexity. Decent, but the yeastiness is definitely getting in the way of my enjoyment.

Cascadian Dark Ale from Whitetooth Brewing

1 month ago

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Basically black. Thick head. Aroma is orangey first, and a bit minty. Quite chocoately, medium bitterness, medium body. That roasty accent comes through nicely, though I'd prefer that the orange jumped out a bit more. Pretty good.

Field Blend - Black/Blue (Blackberry & Blueberry) from Floodland Brewing

1 month ago

7.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Sort of a brownish-purple colour, and also opaque. Thin head. The berry is okay, the bugs are really nice...not just brett. There's a bit of that aspartame thing here, and it adds complexity. It's a bit yeasty on this pour. The fruit doesn't go far here, honestly but the base holds up well.
