Medium brown, thin head. A light vanilla note, mellow stout aspects, some barrel but not a lot…pretty short finishing time, but the lightness of the base puts the whole balance into question.

A kettle sour double dry hopped with HBC 1090. Slight haze, no head. Ok kettle, some weedy, floral hop aromatics. Had on draught in Chinatown.

I popped into the Chinatown location for this. Amber colour, medium head. Fruity, berryish, a bit of diacetyl though, touch of caramel malt. Not ideal structure…the elements are there but I think the butter fucks it up. It’s level 1 diacetyl, so only applies if you’re sensitive.

Opaque, fruity, some stone fruit, moderate bitterness, decent. I probably overrated it slightly since it was a hot day and a long bike ride.

Draft at the anniversary party. Medium brown, some age showing here, soft body, light tartness, and cherry note. Strong, vibrant acidity. Decent stuff, especially if you like the cherry-chocolate vibe.
