976 Ommegang Game of Thrones 005: Three-Eyed Raven United States Saison 4.4

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

750ml bottle <br> 7.2% ABV <br> Atrium on Bay LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 12, 2015 <br> The beer pours semi-translucent black with brown edges and a thick foamy light brown coloured head which recedes to a half inch rocky layer. The aroma is yeast, caramel, spices, and roasted malts. The mouthfeel is medium full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is dark malt, some peppery spiciness, some caramel, and yeast. Ommegang knows beer (or at least Duvel Moortgaat does).

979 Beau's All Natural Farm Table Series: Helles Canada Helles / Dortmunder 3.2

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

600ml bottle <br> 4.7% ABV <br> Main/Thompson LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 3, 2015 <br> $4.55<br> The beer pours a translucent metallic gold colour with plenty of effervescence leading to a long lasting snow white head which laced very well.

Quite one dimensional I think.

980 Rogue Sriracha Hot Stout Beer United States Spiced Beer 3.0

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

650ml bottle <br> 5.7% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 3, 2015 <br> The beer pours a solid black colour with a generous brown head which slowly recedes to a quarter inch or so. The aroma is cocoa, coffee, peppers, and yeast. The mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with average carbonation. Quite possibly the thinnest American craft stout I've tried. The flavour was chocolate milk and chili peppers. A little bit of heat added to a very weak stout. I would think that a brewery like Rogue would have had a stronger stout to add the chili sauce to.

The aroma is cherry, wild yeast, vinegar, and grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is vinegar, light cherry, yeast, and grains.
