Well, this beer is excellent! On the initial taste you get great, almost perfect hoppy taste, and it finishes in an incredible vanilla. I would recommend this beer to anyone who maybe doesn’t fully enjoy the taste of beer, as a way to accumulate the taste and reclaim desirability. As I’m drinking it I can’t help but fully enjoy the taste and the aroma and aftertaste is the most intoxicating part of it all.

5s across the board. Best beer I've had yet. I could drink this stuff all day. Love it.

L: Light brown but a dark amber with a nice white foamy head to it.
S: Caramel butterscotch and sugar cookies with a slight hop presence in the background.
T: Sugar cookies with a hint of almost gingerbread cookies in there has a lot of caramel and butterscotch notes with almost no hop presence.
F: full bodied mouth feel with a nice level of carbonation to it as well.
O: one of my favorite winter beers I wish it was available year round.

A worthy après ski beer. A caramel biscuit in beer form. Not an everyday drinker. The sweetness may turn some people off. Perfect in can, bought directly and fresh from the brewery in Kelowna, British Columbia.

Pint on tap at Beer Revolution in Calgary. A reddish copper with a light smattering of beige foam, mostly on the edges of the glass. Aroma is pungent vanilla (the "subtle hint" promised in the description here is a bald-faced lie), maybe some additional nutty brown bread and caramel, floral hops in the background. Palate is a solid red ale base, toasted biscuit, caramel and a little dry spice, but again the vanilla is overwhelming and overshadows anything else happening here. Decent full body, moderate carbonation, and a semi-dry finish that finally manages to showcase something besides vanilla (the aforementioned floral, grassy hops). This is a pity as I get the sense that this could be much better with a less lavish hand on the extract bottle.
