The beer poured a dark brown with red highlights and a generous tan head. The aroma was dark fruits, caramel, and weak notes of yeast. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was sweet malt, some cocoa notes, yeast and plums. Went down easy.Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

The beer pours a translucent gold colour with a fluffy white cap that quickly disappears, and mild effervescence. The aroma is biscuity malt, some citrusy hops, and light fruit tone. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with average carbonation. Flavour is slightly sweet and spicy, with grains dominating the flavour. Not bad, but I think the sweet spicy notes I am tasting would get tiresome after a while.Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

This is all the rage with a former girlfriend (from Saskatchewan) and seeing it as a single at a local LCBO I had to try and see what the fuss was about. It pours a pale gold colour with a white fluffy head and a lot of effervescence. The aroma is grain/corn, diacetyl, and weak hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is quite grainy, but that's expected for a macro lager.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

The beer pours a solid blackish-brown with a dark brown creamy cap. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, and vanilla come through loud and clear. Mouthfeel is full-bodied, creamy, and with average carbonation. The flavour is roasted malt, bitter dark chocolate, and a hint of molasses. Excellent beer.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

The beer pours a solid black with a tight creamy brown head. The aroma is roasted malt, vanilla and dark milk chocolate. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, creamy with average carbonation.
