Stouts generally fare pretty well with COM, with the exception of the Imperial high ABV variety which tend to be more miss than hit. That being said I was hell bent to sample this New Ontario Hades brew and I’ll be damned if it isn’t a strong yet tasty coffee stout of...
At Clear Lake Brewery answering the dinner bell and you may be surprised to learn that I didn’t have a beer with dinner. I did however have a beer for dessert. After a hearty healthy helping of crispy chicken sandwich I partook in a pint of lactose laden draft dessert...
A malevolent monster from the murky mire has risen to extract it’s vengeance on humanity. The octopus like creature is up in arms about something. This winged denizen of the deeps with eyes burning red like boiling blood, will take it’s toll on any human foolish...
I heard Imperial City and I thought about the Wizard of Oz. Or maybe this is some legendary city or a Shah’s castle like Indiana Jones was digging up for the ark in China or Asia, with buddhas and ninjas and such.* So I dug up some souvenirs from a trip to pre-spy...

My evening dalliance was A Stout With Coffee. I usually don’t have a coffee after 5PM but I figured it must be 5 o’clock somewhere. This tasting started out a tad unbalanced*, with a slight pop and spill in my office, the coffee percolating perhaps? The office...
Out on the slopes with the grandkids and paying the price, so perhaps harkening back to Christmas, like one of those herald angels, with a festive stout may raise my spirits. Note to Self: Fishing may not be the best off-season conditioning program for down-hill...
Broadhead aren’t giving us the gears when they name their oatmeal stout Oatmeal Stout. Coincidence? I think not. There is very little mystery to this glass of stout, but don’t worry, I’m still going to get to the bottom of it. They tell us to “work hard, drink easy”....
