Sweet Spot

On tap at Left Field Leslieville, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has gentle lactose, marshmallow, and toasted malt. Flavour is much the same, with sweet marshmallow and toasted malt. A bit too sweet for my tastes but it’s not terrible. Not my thing.

Nose is amazing. Sweet, chocolaty, tasted malt. The taste flattens out. Roasted malt, some mild chocolate, but pervasive middlingly bitterness, with a touch of acidity. That's only countered by heavy sweetness in the finish. Not amazing.

Can from the LCBO. Black pour, small white head. Aroma is roasty, semi sweet, dark coffee, milk chocolate. Thin mouth feel, lively carb. High bitterness, hitter cocoa, and dark roasty coffee finish.

Poured from the tap. Dark brown with small beige head. Bitter roasty coffee upfront, rounded out by cocoa and marshmallow

This stout poured a dark, amber colour with a creamy, tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include coffee, roasted malts, dark toast and cocoa. First swig was sweeter and quite creamy. Flavours of marshmallows, coffee, cocoa and minimal alcohol. Finish is lightly sweet with quite strong cocoa and coffee lingering forever.

A deep dark stout with a thin lacing brown head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, light vanilla, , very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with light mineral notes, vanilla, light chalky notes, pleasant. On tap at Lupulus.

Part of their Triple Play Fan Pack for winter 2019. Pours a dark hazy brown colour with a light mocha-coloured frothy-creamy head, good stay and full creamy lacing. Big coffee nose over the roasted malts. Was expecting lots of sweetness, as this is a Mocha Marshmallow Stout. Hints of hops. Flavours are also roasted malts balanced with the hop grassiness. Some mild chocolate malts, maybe. I do not get much of cocoa nibs, lactose, vanilla and marshmallow. Easier to drink because of this, but was hoping to get that dessert feel. Instead, a nice hoppy coffee stout.
