Winter Beer is here

So without further ado, my first product review.

Muskoka Double Chocolate Cranberry Stout aka Winter Beard. This stout is a fine 8% in a 750mL swing top bottle. The brewery touts this heavyweight as a 70% dark chocolate brew with the mixture of freshly picked cranberries. Well it is half right. This dark stout - see the pictures below is all chocolate. That is the most pervasive flavour. The cranberries are a faint after thought as they are most likely tasted after a few sips.

Worth the 10 bucks Canadian? Not really. There are better ones that are far cheaper by far my favourite is the Great Lakes Brewery Winter Ale. The cinammon overtone with a nice finish makes it by far better.

As you can see, this stout drinks like a meal. I used my flash on it and I will be damned the light bounced off the glass. This beer is best sipped and not slugged down like a regular beer.

Cheers,

The Beer Baron
