Blackheart Oatmeal Stout from Nelson Brewing Company
13 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Seems a little underrated to me. Aroma is nice, spot on style with some dark chocolate and breakfast oats. Not quite a silky finish as the blurb says but a nice leave of chocolate bitter. Pours pitch black with good head and some lacing. Medium consistency. Bottle from BCLS.

Poured from a 355mL can. Deep mahogany brown colour with nice beige head. Roasted malts, brown sugar, slight hops. Would I buy it again? Probably.

Blackheart Oatmeal Stout from Nelson Brewing Company
14 years ago
4.6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
341mL bottle, pours dark amber brown with a small off-white head - barely looks like a stout. Aroma of sweet chocolate, oats and some light roast. Flavour is simple, but pleasant, of some sweetened cocoa, oatmeal, and some roast. Very watery stout - one of the most thin I've encountered. The flavours are decent enough, if weak, but this is missing body. Not so good an attempt.

Old Brewery Pale Ale from Nelson Brewing Company
14 years ago
4.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
341mL bottle, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma of grassy / floral hops and some sweet malts. Flavour of sweet corn malts and grassy hops - tastes more like an American-style pale ale. Pretty standard affair.

After Dark from Nelson Brewing Company
15 years ago
3.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 3
341mL bottle, pours dark brown with a reddish tinge and a beige head. Aroma of light malts, some dark fruits and light cocoa - very weak. Flavour is quite muted, light roasted malt and subtle dark fruits. Lacks depth and robustness. Pretty weak.

Paddywhack IPA from Nelson Brewing Company
15 years ago
6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle, pours orangey amber with a small white head. Aroma and flavour is a great balance of caramel malts and citrusy hops. Almost no bitterness, but a slight hop bite that just overshadows the malt backing. Nicely done IPA.

20th Anniversary Ale from Nelson Brewing Company
16 years ago
3.5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3
355mL bottle, pours clear copper with a small head. Aroma is almost non-existent, pale malts and subtle hop balance. Flavour is a little more pronounced, with pale malts, grains, and hops on the finish. One might think an anniversary ale would warrant a more adventurous brew, but this is anything but. Very boring.

Paddywhack IPA from Nelson Brewing Company
16 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle at Agro Café, Granville Island
Clear amber color; big head, frothy. Light caramel aroma. Good caramel flavor, nutty, with strong bitterness; lean body; the bitterness (also from roasted malt) in the end is a tad too much. More bitter than an English IPA, but not as fruity (at all) as American IPAs. Average.

A dark copper amber ale with an extra thcil onctuous off white head. Lightly malty with nice citrusy hops. In mouth, a classy little IPA with nutty notes, a nice sweetness, and good British hopping. Quite good. Thanks Cappy.

Old Brewery Pale Ale from Nelson Brewing Company
20 years ago
5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Lightly hazed amber ale with an extra thick off white head, gusher. However, a pleasant whaft of hops came out at the same time, followed by rather fruity, slightly chemical notes. In mouth, the very present hops cannot sustain the boiled sweetcorn notes/ cornsyrup notes, something is fishy about it. However, overall, this isnt has bad as some of the other BC beer tasted recently.
