Brands

Amnesiac Double IPA (India Pale Ale, 8.5%) - When the regular kick of a hopped-up IPA isn't enough, try this one for an extra jolt.  Dangerously delicious!  21/08/2006  More Comments [5]   Add Comments/Rate this Beer

Black Toque India Dark Ale (Ale, 6.5%) 5 stars - superb! - A superb dark ale of complex flavours and delicious hoppiness.  Is it a hoppy porter?  Is it a really dark IPA (hence the designation 'India Dark Ale')?  Is it both?  If anything, it is something more than those simplistic (if helpful) descriptions.  The point is, for those who love a rich full-flavoured beer and want something with a nice hoppy edge to it, this is highly recommended.   20/01/2008  More Comments [0]   Add Comments/Rate this Beer

India Pale Ale (India Pale Ale, 6.5%) 5 stars - superb! - Matt Phillips dares to go where no B.C. micro-brewery has gone before: a sturdy, well-hopped, unfiltered IPA! A most welcome addition to the B.C. beer scene, this is an outstanding choice for those who like to taste the brewer's art in its full, hoppy glory. Available in 650ml bottles.  06/08/2002  More Comments [12]   Add Comments/Rate this Beer

Longboat Double Chocolate Porter (Porter, 5.2%) 4 stars - above average - Ummm...chocolately goodness!  Delivers a big, inviting chocolate aroma followed up by a rich, balanced flavour with the chocolate present but more subdued.  Delicious beer.  31/05/2007  More Comments [6]   Add Comments/Rate this Beer

Twisted Oak Red Ale (Ale, 6.8%) 4 stars - above average - First seasonal release in the Twisted Oak Stillage series. Matured in freshly emptied rum barrels. A rich malty beer. Very tasty...but you better like rum!  21/04/2013  More Comments [0]   Add Comments/Rate this Beer
