Description
We are a brewery & distillery, located on a picturesque 100 acre farm in the small township of Ayr. When Cameron Formica and Jordan and Nolan Vanderheyden finished university, they were looking for something outside of the classic nine to five. They really wanted to do something hands-on that they could physically create. So in 2017 they founded Willibald Farm Distillery and Brewery.

Can. Pours black with little head. Aromas of spicy fresh coffee, soy sauce and slick roasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional green pepper (in a good way from the coffee), dark fruit, and oily roasted malts. Really neat and unique flavors.

(473ml can from 4th and 7, Toronto) Pours black with a small deep brown head and no lace. Aroma of cacao, toasted nuts, caramel, slightly acidic roastiness, floral vanilla. Flavour is chocolate-tinged semi-sweet malts, light moderate roast with a little acidity, dry toasty hazelnut, softly sweet vanilla, no real lactose profile, drying finish with no hint of the booze but a little roast/hazelnut bitterness. Medium-bodied for style, soft carbonation. Solid stuff though not really pastry, more of a hazelnut stout than a nutella one.

Goed hoppig aroma, erg droog, klak en mineraalwater, steenfruit, ben niet zo vreselijk weg van het droge karakter

Resinous, piney and slightly citrusy, hoppy aroma, notes of pine, spruce, sweat, a touch of tropical fruit, woody pineapple, some lemon peel, lemon balm. Taste is moderately bitter, zesty, minimally tart, citrusy fruity, piney, resinous hoppy, notes of pine, spruce, resin, lemon peel, lime peel, a touch of lemon juice, lemon pith, pineapple, whiffs of lemon balm; lingering, citrusy and bitter hoppy finish, well hidden alcohol.

(473ml can from 4th and 7, Toronto) Pours near-opauqe deep muddy gold with a decent white head and spotty lace. Notes of pink and white grapefruit pulp, ripe pineapple, dank mango, some florals, white bread with lightly honeyed sweetness, big hit of grapefruit pith and pale citrus oils middle to finish of sip, overall balance is moderately sweet but not excessive and indeed pretty dry for a TIPA, bitterness is low but a real mineral, slightly chalky drydown amplifies the grapefruity floral nature of the finish. No apparent alcohol despite the 10+%. Medium-plus body, soft and plush with low carbonation. Nice TIPA again from Willibald, they seem to keep the sweetness in check and the water chemistry gives a crispness that keeps things restrained for the style. Good brewing.

On tap at Birreria Volo, pours a clear golden blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out some campfire smoke, hay, and biscuity malt. Flavour is full of campfire smoke, straw, and biscuity malt. Nicely smoky, with a gently sweet but mostly dry palate. Very good.
