pictoman Profile

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 15 Dec 2025). Hazy yellow with small white head. Melon and feint tropical citrus hops, slightly subdued, on the cleaner side at least. Okay. Would opt for a Widowmaker over this though.

Omega Beams from Masthead Brewing Company

4 months ago

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Poured from 500mL bottle. Near black with minimal light beige head. Aroma is very woody, mild bourbon and cognac notes, woody barrel bomb, but without being overly boozy, smooth. The woodiness almost overpowers though. Medium body with feint hint of chocolatey roast.

St-Ambroise Stout Impériale Russe from Brasserie McAuslan (St. Ambroise)

4 months ago

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

Poured from 473mL can (2025 vintage). Black with full tan head. Lightly fruity roasted malt with dry ashy character, hint of chocolate, has a nice balance between the sweetness and dry bitterness. Only criticism is just a touch too ashy, otherwise quite nice. Great at $3.60/can price point.

Meerts au Pinot Noir (2021-2022) from Gueuzerie Tilquin

4 months ago

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5

Poured from 375mL bottle (bb 09/06/2027). Clear yellow gold with small white head. Very light acidity, very feint grape skins, minimal carbonation. Okay, I usually prefer the red grape Meerts' over white grape, but this one is a bit muted. Preferred the 2020-2021 version, could be that I aged it a little?
