Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout - it seems to be evolving. Already the simple sweetness underlining the punchy vanilla-caramel flavors is toning back to reveal some winey dark fruits & the hops express some orange & lemon. I definitely wasn't tasting all of this 2-3 months ago!
Truly a great beer which might keep improving if I can find a few spare bottles.

Tonight was... (let's try to remember now...)
- Grand River Galt Knife Lager (this had some intense toasty sweetness... almost like roasted marcshmallows)
- L'Eveque (Belgian Strong Dark from Mt Tremblant... not very good)
- Brasseurs Illimites IPA
- Scotch Irish Corporal's Bitter Brown
- Tankhouse
- Urthel Hop-It (love this stuff, so happy it's on tap at Kickoff right now)

I believe it is not qany more. The draught version is contract brewed by Grand River and the canned version is some contract with a brewer in the USA (New York State?)matt7215 wrote:headstrong pale ale, wonderful stuff! it'll be my new go to session beer @ $1.95/can.
anyone know if its still a Wellington product?
It's very decent though. I miss the Wellington-brewed $3.50 bombers!

Old Credit Pale Pilsner. I had avoided it like the plague, but I saw Summerhill now have it refrigerated, and I figured it may be worth a try fresh. Its not great, but it is very drinkable, and I'm glad I got it. There are far better pils at the LCBO, but I don't regret this purchase.
I'll be following it up with a Schmucker Bio-Pils. The distribution seems very limited for now, and I've not heard much about it. Here's hoping its a good one!

Coup de Grisou, the buckwheat-and-coriander beer from Quebec. I first bought this fresh some months ago in Montreal but found it was somewhat flat-tasting - keeping it a few months at cool room temperature has rounded and improved it - a benefit of storing bottle-conditioned beers. (In effect it was a prolonged warm-conditioning). It has a round spicy taste, very ale-ish, light and appetizing. Fine example of artisan brewing.

Agreed - we cracked one a couple of nights ago for "dessert", and I was really surprised to find the sweetness more subdued and some wine-like notes coming through. Very interesting!Belgian wrote:Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout - it seems to be evolving.
