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

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