12 À La Fût La Rouge de Mékinac Canada Flanders Red 4.1

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

September 30, 2018<br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 750ml bottle <br> 5.40% ABV <br> $13.50<br> No discernible date code anywhere on the bottle, but it's a Flanders Red, it will still be good to drink in 20 years. I bought myself this as a reward for getting a new job contract. <br> <br> The beer pours a translucent cherry red with a huge generous rocky head, light tan in colour. The sides of the glass display plenty of bubbles. The aroma is very pungent and consists of vinegar tones, tart cherries, and some weak spices. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, and heavily carbonated. The flavour is mellower than the aroma with more cherry flavour, both sweet and tart, and well as some smoky oak notes I did not detect in the nose. Not as yeast forward as the better Belgian Flanders Reds but quite good.

15 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.

Not even close to the copper colour mentioned on the menu (although the accompanying menu picture was close to what was in my stein). The aroma was grains and citrusy hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, citrisy hops, and anise. Eventually the taste was the same as the smell of shoe polish.
