Description
Bellwoods Brewery began as a small brewpub in the west end of Toronto in 2012, and underwent a couple modest growth spurts over the years to encompass two retail shops (selling fresh cans and bottles), and a production brewery in North York (mostly to house The Foeder Pyramid). These days, we produce about 18,000hL a year, which is a mere blip in the grand scheme of Ontario beer, but keeps us pretty busy. The styles we’re interested in brewing range greatly, and we always remain open to new ways of making beer. For the most part, our current efforts are devoted to aromatic hoppy stuff, crisp lagers, barrel aged wild blends, fruit-forward zingers, and the occasional barrel aged stout. There’s always a new, creative project waiting in the wings. We’re still a relatively small, collaborative team, forever dedicated to the pursuit of perfect beer–thanks so much for partaking in the fruits of our labour.

Sitting on the couch with my new little lad, after a satisfying family lunch of homemade mac and cheese. A black pour with just a scant ring of head. A nose of rich roasted malts with coco and coffee. Taste of heavily roasted malts, with a underlying sweetness that hints of dates, also persistent espresso and high coco chocolate bitterness.

Bottle - Sweet tropical fruits. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Sweet tropical fruits and a mellow light pithy finish. Not bad.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out stinky feet, cat piss, and floral hops. Flavour is likewise pungent, with earthy herbal hops, light pepper, and some floral notes. Dry, earthy and pungent. Good, but not great.

Rating number 2! Lol. And after a two hour wait in line to get this beer. A rosy-amber with a little cloud, and no head. Sour grapes and wine nose, very reminiscent of Rodenbach. The taste is a powerful wallop of wine-sour up front closely followed by a cream, granny smith apples and grapes. Softer roasted cereal malts follows. Finishes slowy with the sour receding to a cream. Definitely heavy on the sour aspect, so not everyone’s bag, but a darn good beer for the sour-heads. And Jercraigs (who was somewhere ahead of me in line) says...

Bottle from the brewery. Vary hazy light orange with a one ginger white head that clings to the glass. Big fruity nose of mixed citrus with some grass and pine and some cat piss. Light sweet toffee supports a medium bitterness throughout made of tropical and citrus fruit as well as a hint of spice in the finish. Medium light mouth is slick but a bit thin with average carbonation, Long lingering dry finish. Nice.

Bottle courtesy of jercraigs, thank you sir! Shared with nate2g. Hazy pale yellow color, white head with solid lacing. Nice juicy aroma of citrus and tropical fruit. Taste is lightly bitter fruit, light to medium body. Tasty.

Pours a thick oily black with reddish brown head, dense but only a half of my sausage-like fingers. Nose is malt rich, and sweet, and the booze is lingering in there too. Taste is maltly but a little burnt as well as roasted, but nicely avoids that ashy flavour that so many I.Stouts seem to fall pray too. Sweet syrup lacking much fruit complexity, poorly balanced with a little bitter in the after. You’ll also notice a bit of the booze too. Overall good, not spectac but that’s life. Solid label though.
