Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 500ml draught <br> 4.4% ABV <br> I tried this beer on March 18, 2011 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a clear pale gold with a this white ring for a head. The aroma was grainy malt, floral hops, sour cream, and weak fruits. The mouthfeel was meddium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, milk, weak hops, ad a hint of sweet fruit. The 'milky' aroma and taste is a turn off! |

1857 | Railway City Orange CreamsicAle | Canada | Cream Ale | 2.4
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 473ml can <br> 4.8% ABV <br> Canned On: February 28, 2019<br> LCBO #010 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Summerhill)<br> Gift <br> The beer pours a hazed orange gold colour with a thin white film for a head. There appears to be pulp in the film. The aroma is grains, light yeast, oranges, and weak spicy hops. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is watered down orange juice with some alcohol in the mix. This is nothing like the CreamSicles I enjoyed as a kid. I am very disappointed. |

1859 | Railway City Sham-Bock | Canada | Bock | 3.4
Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6 330ml draught <br> 6.8% ABV <br> I tried this beer on draught on March 9, 2012 at "c'est What" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer was poured a translucent dark burgundy colour with a thin white ring of a head. Aroma was sweet fruits like plums with hints of caramel, molasses, and grains. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is sweet and fruity...almost fruity enough to be a turnoff. Flavour has similarities to their Dragonberry pilsner. It's certainly a sham if you ask me. |

The aroma is citrus, wheat, cloves, yeast, and grass. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is wheat, pepper, yeast, and cloves. I like it, quite refreshing and would make a great summer session beer. |

1861 | Railway City Twice Checked | Canada | Porter | 3.9
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 7 473ml can <br> 5.20% ABV <br> Canned On: November 6, 2018 <br> LCBO # 255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte) <br> November 12, 2018 <br> $3.69<br> Only 6 days old, the freshest beer I’ve had from the LCBO in forever! The beer pours a coca-cola brown with a fluffy light brown cap which quickly devolves to a rocky film. The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, cherries and anise. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, creamy, and average carbonation. The flavour is not very b itter for a porter with the sweetness of the cherries cutting through the bitterness of the roasted malt and coffee flavours. This is the best Railway City beer I’ve tried in years. |

1862 | Rainhard Brewing Dark Fire | Canada | Stout | 3.8
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 340ml Draught <br> 7.0% ABV <br> C’est What? (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)<br> December 14, 2018 <br> $7.30<br> The beer pours a solid black colour with a medium brown creamy head. The peppery aroma of the scotch bonnets hits you right away before noting that there are also notes of roasted malt, coffee and bourbon. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is hot and spicy with the peppery notes up front, and notes of bourbon, coffee and chocolate in the finish. The description lists chocolate and coconut but my palate detects no coconut and very little chocolate, nonetheless a very well done beer. |

The flavour is balanced between the coffee and nutty malty notes. There is a hint of some sweetness, but it is not very strong. |

The aroma is bready grains, lots of orangy citrus notes, and yeast. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is not to my liking. It tastes like a weak iced tea with cereal malts mixed in. A bit overpriced at $3.15 for a 355ml can if you ask me (and you may not be aware of it…but you did ask!) |
