473ml can <br> 6.7% ABV <br> Canned On: December 6, 2018 <br> LCBO #010 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Summerhill)<br> February 7, 2019<br> $3.25 <br> The beer pours a solid black colour with a generous creamymy chocolate milk coloured head. The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. It says barrel aged on the can, but I can’t detect any in the aroma. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation, a bit disappointed it isn’t creamy and more full bodied. The barrel aging can be tasted in the flavour as there is definitely some wood notes on the tongue, very dry wood notes. Not as much coffee in the flavour as the aroma. A decent effort by a small brewer.

The aroma is toasted malt, light caramel, weak citrus, and bread. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour leans heavily towards citrus peel, particularly grapefruit and orange, which isn’t my cup of tea. There are hints of herbal hops and caramel as the beer warms up a little, but the citrus peel lingers.

473ml can <br> 4.60% ABV <br> Canned On: December 25, 2018<br> LCBO # 255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte) <br> February 3, 2019<br> $3.25<br> The beer pours a hazy light yellow colour with a huge generous white head which lasts a few minutes. There is plenty of effervescence in the glass. The aroma is tropical fruit, biscuit malt, and some tart fruity notes as well. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a balance between tart fruity notes, and sweeter citrusy notes, followed by a mildly bitter hop finish. Not a bad beer, but not a great beer.

The aroma is grains, light caramel, herbal hops, and some weak yeast notes. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is light toasted caramel, some leather notes, and a nice bitter hoppy finish. I enjoyed this immensely, I hope Steam Whistle doesn’t ruin it.

The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and notes of vanilla. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation….disappointing for a beer labelling itself as a ‘London Stout’. The flavour is roasted malt and watered down coffee. Not a great beer but not a bad beer. Certainly shows that a ‘large’ Canadian brewer can brew decent beers

There is significant lacing for a beer that is 7 months from canning. The aroma is cereal grains, citrusy hops, some pine notes as well. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is sticky caramel, pine, and citrus with a bitter hop finish. Another decent from one of the breweries closest to me.

There is a thin ring surrounding a sporadic white film on tap standing in for the beer’s head. The aroma is grains, and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grainy malt, some briny tartness, and some peppery spiciness before giving way to a light bitter hop finish. Interesting flavour. Better than most light lagers in my opinion.

500ml bottle &#60;br&#62; 11.50&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Bottled On: October 23, 2018&#60;br&#62;&#62; LCBO # 255 &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main &#47; Bronte&#41; &#60;br&#62; January 29, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;14.95&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a solid black colour with a creamy brown head, about a half inch thick, that lasts a while. The aroma is bourbon, and lots of it, burnt wood, some roasted malt, vanilla, and coffee. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is similar to the aroma….lots of burnt wood and bourbon up front, followed by notes of roasted malt, coffee. Not a fan of barrel aged beers, and in this case, the barrel takes over the beer.&#60;br&#62; &#60;br&#62; In the end, this ended up being a drainpour. It looked great, the mouthfeel was great, but the overpowering bourbon aroma and flavour was just too much. I like bourbon, and I like beer, but they don&#39;t go together in my opinion.

The aroma is tart cherries, vinegar, and wet grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between tart cherry and sweet cherry flavours, with some grains, burnt wood, vinegar, and yeast thrown into the mix. A very fine beer.

The aroma is biscuit malt, some herbal hop tones, and a hint of grapefruit and pineapple. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour has some fruit notes up front, mainly pineapple and orange flavours before finishing with grains, some yeast, and a decent hop bit finish.

As soon as the can is opened, you can smell graham crackers, but once in the glass, the aroma is primarily roasted malt, dark chocolate, molasses, and vanilla. The mouthfeel is full bodied, very creamy, and well carbonated. The flavour is chocolate, molasses, and vanilla. There is a definite sweetness up front that eventually gives way to a bitter roasty finish. An excellent beer.

The aroma is Belgian yeast, grains, candy sugar, and lemony citrus notes. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation, despite the constant stream of bubbles in the Spencer Trappist glass. The flavours are very similar to the aroma. A nice Belgian Strong Ale with notes of grains, some honey, some , a little spiciness, and it warms the belly nicely, and since it is -10 outside, that’s not a bad thing.

The first aromas to hit me are those of grapefruit and oranges, then some cereal malt and yeast. The mouthfeel is thin bodied with below average carbonation. The first thing I taste is tart citrus, and an almost oniony flavour. Not a lot of grains in the flavour, just tart citrus.

The flavour is grainy malt, some tropical fruit notes, and a mild bitter hop finish. There is also a weak caramel note that just lingers on the tongue. Another ‘not a bad’ beer. From the LCBO.

The aroma was cereal malt and weak herbal hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was very grainy with a weak bitter hop finish. The flavour was outstanding for a non-alcoholic beer. In fact, it had the flavour of a decent European style pilsner.

The aroma has citrusy hop notes, grassy notes, and some salty notes. The mouthfeel is very thin with below average carbonation. The flavour is weak grains with hints of wet cardboard and a weak bitter finish. There is also a doughy note that comes through in both the aroma and flavour in a strong way. There are beers on this site that taste worse than this, so I will give it credit from that standpoint, but this is not a good beer unless rated to style

There is definitely coffee in the aroma. Along with hints of citrus, herbal hops, and biscuit malt. The mouthfeel is medium to medium-full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a battle between the coffee notes and the citrus notes, and they aren’t playing very well off of one another. In the background the biscuit malt is going about its’ business.

The aroma is citrusy hops, cereal grains, and a hint of spice. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is cereal, grass, and a citrus hop finish. Not quite tropical fruit citrus, and not quite grapefruit citrus. Somewhere in between. A very good blonde ale.

The aroma is grains, cereals, light citrus, herbal hops, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour has light citrus tones, grass, a little spiciness, and a hint of yeast. Very reminiscent of some session IPAs that have come out of Ontario the last few years rather than a pilsner

Kind of disappointing from the head perspective. The aroma is all roasted malt and coffee with a minor hint of vanilla. Not much in the way of multiple dimensions here. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with below average carbonation. I am now pretty sure that this beer is flat or old. Either way, quite disappointed. The flavour is similar to the aroma with a lot of roasted malts and bitter coffee notes hiding a weak vanilla and chocolate presence. I may try again down the road but this was a disappointment.

The aroma was strong on tropical fruits with hints of papaya and pineapple. There is also some grapefruit and grass notes in the mix. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is light tropical fruit notes, weak grains, some citrus rind, and a little funky yeast note. Quite good.

The aroma is roasted malt, milk chocolate, cinnamon, coffee, and vanilla. No peppers on the nose. The mouthfeel is full bodied, creamy, and amply carbonated. The peppers come through in the flavour along with the cinnamon and milk chocolate notes. The roasted malt is there, but you feel the peppers and alcohol as it goes down the hatch.
