Black Katt is sometimes available on cask - definitely a dry stout.
Currently sampling a blend of Fuller's Porter, aged Yeti Belgian Imperial Stout and Gubna double IPA. The hops from the Gubna definitely gives a lift to the porter blend and its additional malt fits in well. A three threads of today (a "stale" stout, a fresh sweet porter and a strong pale ale).
(Had a few ounces one day and left the rest for another. It was as good after but had lost carbonation. A splash of Appolinaris, and, presto).

After Monster Jam* @ The Roger's Centre:
LTM Baltique Porter - not the whole bottle though. Hoping my stopper keeps some of the carb in for tomorrow. It gets chocolatier every time I try it.
(*For those raising an eyebrow - it was quite a bit of fun, especially for the boys! It's all totally for kids. Plus - Can't remember when I've seen the Dome that packed - early 90s maybe? If you ever go, bring ear plugs!)

It's funny - I did think about the O'Keefe which is one of the best, IMHO. Didn't know about Black Katt though - only ever thought it was on Nitro. Mind you, what beer does Durham do that they DON'T put on cask...Stand corrected on both accounts.cratez wrote: Yep, as is Granite Keefe's Irish Stout.

I took my son to that a few times, he`s 7 now, we`re probably going to see the Hamilton one at Copps in April, good fun, and yes, headphones or earplugs recommended!JeffPorter wrote:After Monster Jam* @ The Roger's Centre:

I think Durham still make an oyster stout exclusively for Starfish Oyster Bed on Adelaide St.JeffPorter wrote:Yesterday at lunch/breakfast @ the Ceili - GLB/Ceili Oyster Stout on cask - really nice and smooth and roasty and sweet - almost like a milk stout. Oysters are more prominent in this batch. Doesn't last long normally so go get it!
Also - can't think of a brewer that puts a dry stout on cask in this city.

Hmm...well Starfish and The Ceili Are both owned by Patrick McMurray - sure the Oyster Stout isn't from GLB.Torontoblue wrote:I think Durham still make an oyster stout exclusively for Starfish Oyster Bed on Adelaide St.JeffPorter wrote:Yesterday at lunch/breakfast @ the Ceili - GLB/Ceili Oyster Stout on cask - really nice and smooth and roasty and sweet - almost like a milk stout.

Could be now, I suppose. But when I lived in Toronto (3 years ago), it was a Durham brew.JeffPorter wrote:Hmm...well Starfish and The Ceili Are both owned by Patrick McMurray - sure the Oyster Stout isn't from GLB.Torontoblue wrote:I think Durham still make an oyster stout exclusively for Starfish Oyster Bed on Adelaide St.JeffPorter wrote:Yesterday at lunch/breakfast @ the Ceili - GLB/Ceili Oyster Stout on cask - really nice and smooth and roasty and sweet - almost like a milk stout.
