201 | McAuslan St. Ambroise Noire à L'Avoine / McAuslan St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout | Canada | Oatmeal Stout | 5.0
Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 10 July 27, 2007 <br> The Beerbistro (Toronto, Ontario, Canada - 18 King Street East) <br> 500ml draught <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Kegged On: Unknown<br> $6.50<br> Wow! Impressive. It came to me in a glass (on draught) and appeared to be chocolate milk with a thick head. The beer was dark brown, with a medium brown head that lasted throughout the beer. The aroma was a combination of malt, chocolate, and fruits. The mouthfeel was full bodied, and not as thick as I was expecting. Nor was there a whole lot of carbonation. The flavour was full of malt, chocolate, and plums. Overall, this was a truly great experience, and completely surprised me that a stout could provide this. |

202 | Kawartha Lakes Brewing (KLB) Raspberry Wheat | Canada | American Wheat | 2.9
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 August 7, 2007<br> Smokeless Joe’s (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – 125 John Street)<br> 592ml draught<br> 4.50% ABV<br> Kegged On: Unknown<br> $6.75<br> The beer was a beautiful translucent red that reminded me of a Paulaner Salvator with very little head. The aroma was light on malt with a hint of raspberry. The mouthfeel was very weak...watery and no carbonation. The flavour was a combination of raspberry and coffee. The scary part of this beer is that after taking my notes from the first taste and writing them down..........the last 2/3 of the beer went down in maybe 5 seconds. This beer was WEAK. . |
