Description
Winterlong Brewing Co. was a dream that started in the summer of 2014.

Marko and Meghan Marjanovic had been homebrewing for 10 years, and finally decided to take the risk and start a brewery. They secured a lease, applied for a licence, and ordered brewing equipment during the fall and winter of 2014.

Our philosophy is simple: we brew the beer we want to drink.

Winterlong Brewing Co. is a small, craft brewery. We focus on creating beer that is bold in flavour. Our beer is unfiltered in order to maximize flavour and aroma.

473mL can, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma brings out lots of cocoa nibs, a touch of coconut, and relatively timid bourbon barrels. Flavour is full of big bourbon barrel notes, followed by coconut, cocoa nibs, and a touch of dark fruits. Really nice bourbon and coconut notes, with a solid roast base. Impressive, especially for a Yukon brew.

Dark brown, medium head. The coconut is fairly big here, with nice chocolate, rich malts. Some alcohol comes in late for balance, especially bourbon. Good balance, the richness provides a base for the coconut and then the barrel finish rounds it out.

Really nice proper puffy foam on this thing, on top of a hazy light orange body, modest visible carbonation. Aroma is nice deep tangy papaya, honeydew melon, sweet tangerine. Taste is a murky mix of melon and vague peach notes, possibly soft sweetened chalk, ending a little wet. Odd lingering smoky bitterness doesn't fit. Some good elements but this needs work.

Deep saturated burnt sienna body and okay foam. The aroma is soft coffee bean, a bit under roasted, hints of molasses and cocoa though it's all too soft. Taste is smooth coffee and cocoa, hints of biscuit, ending smooth with a bit of dryness. Still somehow seems thin for what it is. Nice, but this can be better.

Pours a very dark brown with good beige foam on top, nice density. Great coffee and molasses on the nose, slightly bitter and also sweet. Taste is deep coffee, cocoa nibs, more molasses and finish smooth and dry. A great stout, really enjoyable.

Big foam on a cloudy light yellow body, quite nice. Good banana aroma, slight dough, a bit of rustic grain way back there. Taste is plenty of banana, very soft cereal grain, ending smooth. Easy and well made, refreshing.

Dark brown. Medium head. Nice rich coffee aroma, roasty and sweet like a well-pulled shot. Full body, sweet, lots of beautiful chocolate and coffee on this. You even get a bit of rye chewiness. I don't know Firebean as a roaster but Guatemalan seems like it would complement coffee stouts well. No complaints here, this is good stuff.
