First Impression
There's a helicopter hidden in the deep green paint job, see if you can find it! Looks appealing enough. Granville Island is a west coast Canadian brew house which has been making some headway across the country over the past few years. Good stuff so far. So let's see how the winter offering fares.
First Sip
Chocolate syrup!?! WTF? The label makes mention of a "vanilla finish" but there has never been a beer made to taste so alike chocolate syrup!
Halfway
Yep definitely tastes of chocolate syrup. Weird. Not bad per se.
Bottoms Up
Medium-dark amber with a golden head and an almost overpowering chocolate syrup flavor, this might be a beer that finds a loyal following, myself not included. I do respect the brewer's adventurous nature at work, no doubt, but the final product is just not for me. Too chocolatey.
60/100
