877 Bench Brewing Mountainview Stout Canada Stout 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

473ml can <br> 6.0% ABV <br> Canned On: October 14, 2021<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> January 21, 2022 <br> $3.30 <br> The beer pours a solid black colour with a thin light brown head which actually gets a bit thicker within a couple of minutes of the pour. The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is similar to the aroma. Solid stout, no surprises. Considering that the brewery specializes in wild ales, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the stout.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

February 17, 2022<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> 473ml can <br> 9.5% ABV (as written on can) <br> Canned On: October 7, 2021 <br> $3.95<br> The beer pours a hazed orange-gold with a creamy light tan cap which lasts a long while. Lots of lacing. The aroma is grassy malts, light citrus, weak tropical fruit, and yeast. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grains, citrus, light brown sugar, and a definite presence of alcohol. This beer warms the belly, and as I watch a snowstorm outside, I don’t have an issue with that.

473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Canned On: September 27, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> March 2, 2022<br> $3.50<br> The beer pours a translucent reddish-gold with a generous tan coloured cap that settles into a nice creamy cap. Lacing is generous. The aroma is grassy malts, light bready yeast, some toasted notes, light caramel, and weak citrusy hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation.

880 Bellwoods Jelly King (Cranberry & Tangerine) Canada Wild Ale 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

500ml bottle <br> 5.6% ABV <br> Bottled On: December 26, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> March 19, 2022<br> $7.50<br> The beer pours a golden orange colour with a generous white head which collapses into a thin white ring within seconds. Lacing is non-existent. The aroma is biscuit malts, yeast, tart citrus, and light cranberry. It’s definitely citrus, but it doesn’t say ‘tangerine’ to me. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is very tart with both the cranberry and tangerine up front. Not a lot of bitterness in the finish, although it could be washed away by the tartness.
