B’Urban Legend Oatmeal Stout by London<br />
Brewing — Aged in<br />
bourbon barrels, a fresh<br />
batch of this returning<br />
beer was released in<br />
December. Oatmeal<br />
stouts are a popular<br />
style at craft<br />
breweries. The use<br />
of oatmeal provides<br />
a smooth, rich body to the stout.<br />
Rolling in the DIPA by Storm Stayed,<br />
London — What’s a list of quality beers to<br />
sip without a double IPA? Rolling in the DIPA<br />
comes in at a staggering 68 IBU and is a strong<br />
8.2 per cent alcohol. Double IPAs crank up<br />
the hop content to twice or more the usual<br />
amount,<br />
creating a<br />
glorious<br />
taste<br />
experience<br />
for hopheads<br />
who’ve become bored with regular<br />
IPAs. For others, double IPAs like this are best<br />
paired with a glass of water.<br />

Soos’ Juices by Natterjack Brewing, West<br />
Lorne — Unusual in that<br />
this strong, 9 per cent<br />
alcohol, uses so-called<br />
chocolate malt (named for<br />
its colour, not its flavour)<br />
to bring a nutty flavour to<br />
the beer.<br />
Tail Feather by Black<br />
Swan, Stratford — Tail Feather is an India<br />
brown ale. Think of it as a<br />
marriage between a familiar<br />
IPA and a brown ale, both<br />
hoppy and malty. The<br />
Black Swan version is 6<br />
per cent alcohol and in IPA<br />
territory with a bitterness<br />
measurement of 43 IBU. Tasting<br />
notes refer to chestnut and burnt sugar.<br />
Dingman Dark Lager by<br />
Hamlet Hall, Stratford —<br />
Featuring local Midnight<br />
Wheat Malt, Dingman Dark<br />
Lager, aka Schwartzbier, is<br />
earthy, smooth and crisp.<br />
It’s 5.6 per cent alcohol and<br />
