1840 | Les 3 Brasseurs Stout | Canada | Dry Stout | 3.0
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6 March 2, 2012<br> The 3 Brewers, Yonge Street (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> 568ml Draught<br> 5.60% ABV <br> $6.49<br> This was the most uninspired stout I have had in a long time. The waitress said it was in the style of a Guinness, and that should have been my cue as I'm not a fan of Guinness. It poured a dark brown with black edges, and a creamy brown head. Aroma was weak roast with some coffee and chocolate in the background. Mouthfeel was weak to medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was weak roast, weak coffee, and weak chocolate. So, not offensive......but not memorable. |
