Abbey de St. Martin Brune

Brunehaut, Rongy, Belgium.
7/10.  We first tasted this one at Stella's with a warm chocolate cherry cake.  Memories of the taste are superior to reality but still a nice beer.  Medium in flavour and color.

Raspberry Porter

Tree Brewing Company, Kelowna, BC
8.5/10.  A mouth full of dark chocolate, raspberry and coffee flavours.  Think Purdy's Raspberry Creams. Looking forward to drinking this at Christmas.

Hermann's Dark Lager

Vancouver Island Brewing. Victoria, BC.
8/10. A classic. A dark beer with a light aftertaste. Great addition to stews and Sheppard's pie.

Cloak & Dagger Cascadian Dark Ale

Granville Island Brewing. Vancouver, BC.
7.5/10. It's middle ground for people who either like IPA or a darker, maltier beer. 

Twisted Trail Extra Pale Ale

Bowen Island Brewing Co. Bowen Island, BC.
6.5/10. Not horrible. Tastes more like an amber ale than a pale ale.

Black Death Porter

Russell Brewing Company. Surrey, BC.
6/10. Pretty light for a porter, almost like a soy sauce finish.

Dark Meddle Beer

Gigantic Brewing Company, Portland Oregon.
7.5/10.  Tasted like a winter ale and a dark lager mixed together.  Easy summer beer choice.
