    The beer pours a hazed medium gold colour with a 1" foamy white head and plenty of effervescence. The aroma is grainy malt, light fruits (pears/apricots), and herbal hops. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, slightly creamy, and well carbonated. Flavour is grainy malt, bitter hops, and earth notes.

    C'est What? (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
    March 14, 2013
    The beer was poured a coca-cola black colour with a thin tan ring for a head. The aroma was vanilla, coffee, chocolate, and dark fruit. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour was on the sweet for a Russisan Imperial Stout. Vanilla and chocolate dominate the flavour with latent coffee hints.

    The beer pours a translucent dark copper colour with a creamy tan coloured head. Aroma is caramel, citrus, and brown sugar. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is weak grapefruit hops, caramel, and grain. Not too sweet and not too bitter.

    The beer pours a hazed light gold colour with almost no head. The aroma definitely has maple in it, fruit, yeast and grains. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour is yeast, grains, and light fruits. Quite refreshing, moreso than flavourful.

    Beer pours a translucent dark copper colour with a creamy whitish head that lasts. The aroma is roasted malt, spice, caramel and citrus. Mountfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavour definitely has notes of pepper and caramel, with some dim roast flavours in the mix.

    The beer pours a solid coca-cola colour with a creamy tan head that laces well. The aroma is coffee, chocolate, and raisins. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, and medium carbonation. The flavour is cold coffee with added sugar. Quite enjoyable.

    The beer pours a slightly hazed golden-red with a frothy light tan cap. The aroma is citrusy hops, caramel, and grass. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with mild carbonation. Flavour is grapefruit, light caramel, and some grainy notes. Very nice, but missing the hop bite.

    Queen's Quay LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
    March 2, 2013
    The beer pours a solid black colour with a thin tan ring for a head. The aroma was a disappointment, weak hints of roasted malt, coffee, vanilla, and bourbon. The mouthfeel was full bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour was roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Quite good, but not great. The barrels lended very little to the flavour.

    The beer pours a translucent cherry red colour with a thin light brown foamy head. Aroma is roasted malt, vanilla, and spice. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavour is sweet malt, caramel, and coffee. It does tend to get a bit sweeter as you finish it. Not bad at all.

    The beer pours a solid dark brown, syrupy in nature with a creamy light brown head. Aroma is alcohol, caramel, and molasses. Mouthfeel is full bodied with mild carbonation. Flavour is over the top sweet and the alcohol is definitely noticeable. Dark fruit and roasted malt round out the flavour. Definitely a beer for sharing.
