Description
Small dogs with big dreams. The Stray Dog Brewing Company is more than just beer; we represent the spirit of adventure and the courage to pursue the passions that enrich our lives. Many people choose to give up on their dreams because of fear of failure, but yearn for something more. Metaphorically, a lot of us feel chained up in one form or another. These chains can be the result of external forces or self-imposed. The symbolism of a Stray Dog is the will to break free from these chains and venture out into the unknown. It represents freedom and defiance of a life of confinement and taking the risk to do something great even if it means leaving the security of the current life you’re living. The road ahead is unknown, but you’ll never know what possibilities lie ahead unless you venture out.

Enjoyed at The Koven as my picture shows. Dark brown colour with a little copper highlights, a beige head, good retention and patchy lace. Grassy hops aromas over mild roasted malts. The hops are better blended in the taste with the burnt malts. A nicely bitter Black IPA, more than the roasted malts side of most.

Enjoyed at The Koven as my pic shows. Slightly hazy golden colour with a warm cap, good stay and some dirty spots. Grassy hops aromas with pine needles. Citrus flavours with the grassiness. The mouthfeel is dry, but not excessively. Quite a nice IPA overall.

Enjoyed at the Koven with friends (where I took pic). Pours a hazy golden colour with a warm frothy head and decent lacing. Fruity malt nose with lots of yeast. The taste is also fruity with citrus notes, light bitterness, dryness and again, yeast. I does seem to get better with time. Not bad, but just seem like a tad too much yeast.

Enjoyed at the Koven with friends. Pours a dark brown colour with a beige creamy head, long lasting with very good lace. Roasted malts in the nose with molasses soften with the oatmeal giving hints of vanilla. The mouthfeel is quite smooth and almost on the silky side. Roasted malt taste with some nice fruitiness. A very smooth, easy-going oatmeal stout.
