A nod to the late and great Canadian author Farley Mowat, Viking Grave stout is inspired by his many novels over the years. Approachable and flavourful, this beer is easy to drink and easy to love.

A dark brown stout with a thin brown head. In aroma, light chocolate malt with light bourbon barrel notes, woody, dark fruits, nice. In mouth, a bitter herbal chocolate with grassy hops, light licorice, dark fruits, bitter coffee, light oaked notes, nice but a bit harsh. Cask at Beau’s Oktoberfest 2014.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a dark brown / black with a tiny beige head. Aroma of brings out notes of sweet chocolate, light roast, light coffee, and some dark fruits -- it's not a robust nose, but there are many notes. Flavour brings out faded chocolate, some dark fruitiness, some burnt notes, and licorice. Pretty light on the palate, with restrained flavours. Pleasant enough, but this leaves much to be desired. A rare miss from Bellwoods -- not overly thrilling.
