Flying monkeys. BNL imperial chocolate stout

This was good, pretty sweet and full flavored.  $13 in LCBO, I'm a little on the fence about it being worth that.

Samuel Smiths Organic Chocolate Stout

STOUT! STOUT! STOUT!  This stout will not disappoint   The only recommendation i can make is, drink this with desert or by its self, it is pretty sweet and would not really pair well with anything but desert.

Breckenridge Brewery. Vanilla Porter

Wow this beer is good, that's all I really need to say.  Its the first beer me and J have tried since we got back  from the US and frankly it single handed'ly made the beer run worth it without us even trying any others.  This is a Gem so don't hold back if you ever spot it on a shelf.  




Dieu Du Ciel. German style Red Ale

Dieu Du Ciel has to be one of our favorite brewery's, their beers are fantastic.  The flavor is strong but well balanced.  If your into red ales, there's no doubt that you will enjoy this beer, and if your in to funky art then this brewery will fulfill both those needs with the weirdest artwork i have ever seen on bottles.


A Question i wonder is why wont the LCBO stock more of this brewery's beers across the shelf Who knows but until then a beer run to Montreal will suffice, and if your planning one make sure you hit up the micro brew pub, its a sure way to try beers you may not even find on shelves.  I would give you the address but you would probably just Google it anyways.

Triple Karmeliet (Belgian Style)

The only thing I regret about this beer is buying only one bottle.  We poured this lonely bottle into three wide mouthed glasses.  The beer was awesome!  Taking the safe route and buying one bottle of this beer only ended in further disappointment, when I returned to the liquor store to find them sold out!  


Great Divide. Wild Raspberry ALE

The Great Divide Raspberry Ale not the best but it was so so.  The alcohol seemed to overpower the flavors and removed the fun from this brew.  Don't confuse this for a bashing, we have grown high expectations, a trip to Quebec "fruit beer Central" will do that to you.



Southern Tier. Imperial coffee stout

I would hear amazing things about the southern Tier Brewery.  This beer to me not so amazing, tasting like a coffee flavored ice cream that has been melted into a quarter filled bottle of stout.  Some may dis-agree and you ladies and gents who like this beer Do your thing, but me and J are not fans.  So its on to the next one, and hopefully a different southern tier beer will make its way to our beer fridge and win our hearts over!
