The beer pours a coca-cola colour with almost no head. Two straight beers from Renaissance that lost their fizz on the way to Canada. The aroma roasted malt, vanilla, chocolate, and coffee. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is similar to the aroma with the coffee and chocolate bitterness predominating.

The beer pours a translucent dark brown colour with a thin brown head. Quite light for a porter. The aroma is oak, molasses, and dark fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavour is subdued, very oakey and slightly sweet. Not my cup of tea.

The beer pours a coca-colour colour with absolutely no head despite a vigourous pour. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, wood, and some smoke. No cognac from what I can smell. Mouthfeel is very thin (quite watery actually) for a porter with medium carbonation. Flavour is roasted malt, wood, and some alcohol. Not a lot in the way of coffee, especially when it can be accounted for from an olfactory standpoint.

The beer pours a hazed golden orange with a quarter inch tan coloured head. The aroma is citrusy hops, pine, light fruit, and grainy malt. Mouthfeel is medium to full-bodied, creamy, with medium carbonation. The flavour is grapefruity hops, some tart fruitiness, and excessively bitter. Decent enough beer but I'll not be trying it again.

The braggot pours a clear medium gold colour with a short-lived white head. Aroma is tart fruit, grains,and weak honey notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, and highly carbonated. Flavour is tart fruit, and furniture polish. Hopefully meads and braggots made by other brewers taste better.

The beer pours a very dark brown with black edges and a thin brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, cocoa, coffee, and spices (ginger-ish). Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavour is cocoa, molasses, some more gingery spice, and roast. Not a world beater, but pretty good.

The beer pours a very dark brown, almost black with a creamy tan coloured head. The aroma was roasted malt, nuts, and coffee. Mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavour is roasted malt and coffee. Thin and bitter is the best way to describe this.
