The first stop on our Canadian Beerventure is our version of the Canadian classic desert; the Nanaimo Bar. These delicious little no-bake desserts consist mainly of chocolate, custard and coconut, with a few other hidden surprises along the way. Our take on the recipe meant infusing our Amber Ale with coco, coconut, almonds and walnuts. Combined with the malty backbone of the Amber Ale, and you have a perfect match to our all-time favorite dessert! Beer & Nanaimo bars; Does it get more Canadian than that?

On tap at St. Augustines, pours a hazy carame amber with a small white head. Aroma is very subdued, with toasted nuts and light bready malt. Flavour is likewise subdued, with notes of caramel, toasted nuts and candied sweetness. Timid and underwhelming. If youre going to brew like this, why do it so halfheartedly?

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Clean dark amber color. Light Aroma of caramel. I never had a Nanaimo bar, this beer has a mild nutty flavor and light caramel and chocolate, dry mouthfeel and short final. Mikkeller and Omnipollo can do some good dessert-beer, Old Yale can’t. Also, typical BC old style, they don’t dare brewing something stronger and sweeter.
Mediocre.
