I got to try this yesterday at The Pheonix in Hamilton.....on one of their rotating taps right now. I definitely agree with Jesse and I was unexpectedly impressed. Very well balanced for a fruit based beer. The sweetness of the berry was not overwhelming, ample malts were present with really pleasan...

I just finished a side-by-side comparison and the ST had way more flavour and way more of an aroma than the DFH 60. However, from my recollection when I had them individually and from my tasting notes, I can say that I liked the DFH 60 a lot more. A few others have said it before, but I think that t...

I bought 3 of these from Cooper Street location in late July. The first 2 were great. Tonight I opened my last one to do a side-by-side comparison with the Brakspear Bitter. This bottle of Stuart's was quite sour and that sourness was not there in the other 2 bottles.....same notes were in the aroma...

I usually opt for #2. If the beer stinks, there's always giny-gin-gin. However, I find the real dillema at sporting events, rather than at bars. Sometimes the situation just necessitates beer, you can't get wine or spirits at all or the those that you can get are equivilant to the crap beer you are ...

Yep, definitely the case with most beers and you are right, the flavour profile did change a little as it warmed. However, I've got my bar fridge steady at 4 degrees C (give or take a little based on the area of the fridge). Poured half of that beast before eating, put the bottle back in the fridge,...

Don't know if this helps at all, but I did pick up 6 of the Big Dog Porter's from the brewery a few weeks ago. The bottle doesn't have a traditional label, only a small piece of green paper attached with a rubber band around the neck with the name of the beer, a small logo and the alcohol %. It was ...

I picked up a ton ot Rogue products from out West about a month ago and I am actually enjoying my first Hazelnut Brown Nectar right now. Lots of roasted, chocolately malts and smokey hazelnut, but not sickly sweet or overpowering and a truely brilliant creamy full mouthfeel. Man, I cannot wait to st...
