Crush Factor from Winterlong Brewing (Whitehorse, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ)

7/10 โ€” Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7
Pale and slightly hazy. Light fruity hop note, pears and some stone fruit. Light body, moderate bitterness. Hops are similat stone fruit but with more of a sweet mandarin accent. Itโ€™s okay, everything is okay and in particular Iโ€™d want some extra bitterness to make it pop.

Dullish pale. Vinous notes and it comes across with a nice peachy character. Balanced, light brett. Some good tartness in the finish. Juicy with a lot of acidity, a touch of sweetness, and again a good gooseberry, stone fruit character.

Dark brown. No head. Getting lots of vanilla on the nose, good quality chocolate, some dark sugars. I like the barrel character on there, soft, some coconut. Full body. Sticky dark sugars, with good vanilla.

Queen's Park - Bourbon from 5e Baron (Gatineau, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ)

Dark brown. The aroma has a dominant bourbon, but doesn't promise much. On the palate, however, it's pretty good. Lots of sugars, pale and dark, and the bourbon comes across better than on the aroma, where it's a bit rough.

Muskaat (2020) from Bofkont (Kontich, Belgium ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช)

9/10 โ€” Appearance 8 Aroma 9.5 Flavor 9 Texture 9 Overall 9
Pale, hazy, The aroma, I mean that's got a lot of pitch, pine, yes muscat as well, but piney retsina sort of character. On the palate, it's more obviously vinous, intense, with lots of sugars, combining with the buggy character that's almost going in a tokaji direction. Sweet pale malts. Just so juicy, delicious. The bugs are complementary.

Bestowed - Birthday (5th Anniversary) from Third Moon Brewing Co. (Milton, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ)

Dark brown. No head. Aroma doesn't really go anywhere, just sort of a thin chocolate syrup. On the palate, it's got good body. Lots of chocolate, that's the main theme. Has a bitterness that sort of clashes a bit with the malts.

Vibrant amber colour. Thin head. Crystal malt and marmalade throwback aroma. That orange is nice, lemon verbena, some lychee. On the palate, it's got again that bright citrusy character. Lots of bitterness, and lots of sweetness, too. Not that chewy, actually, certainly less chewy than the aroma hinted at. Everything is coming together really well.

It's black, and has no head. The aroma has some iodine sort of character, along with dark malts. On the palate, good body, lots of dark malt. Good body - drinks lighter and relatively easy for an imperial stout. So to me this is a distinctive character, that's actually pretty good.
