Vintage Cellar Review: Brewed in Squamish, British Columbia. As the name suggests, is not for the faint-hearted. This beer is a strong, hearty stout brewed in a very limited quantity a few times a year. It is brewed with seven different barley malts, blackstrap molasses, hops, water, yeast, licorice root and star anise. It has an intense depth of roast earthy flavour, with a pleasant licorice aroma.
My Review: This was the final beer that we sampled and in this case, the best truly was saved for last. I don't usually enjoy stouts, but this beer had a very defining taste. It was strong but not too overwhelming and I noticed a strong hint of chocolate in the after taste. It also tasted a bit like coffee, which brought about a warm feeling.
