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.

Ye gods this is a good beer! It’s a cloudy blond, blah, blah, blah. Malty goodness nose with soft sour grapes nose, yada, yada. But the taste! Great soft malt profile, with this gentle, smooth sourness that has a creamy (as in dairy) richness, that is just spectacular. Hints of vanilla, cream, sour grapes, lemon, and hay malts. Lovely zing to the after. This is a good beer. Labeled Batch 6th. Oct 10th. 2014

Bottle at the DC Pre-Thanksgiving tasting. Poured a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was some light malt notes, some nice pine character. Flavor was light malt, with some fruity notes. Okay.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours black with a small tan head. Nose brings out lots of roasted malt, some smoke and dry cocoa nibs. Flavour is very dry, with unsweetened cocoa nibs, roasted malt and a touch of smoke. Very dry palate, with quite a lot of roast and smoke. Quite flavourful for a 4.5% stout. Good stuff for the style.

ery smooth porter with chocolate notes, vanilla is present without adding too much sweetness and ends in a prolonged coffee bitterness

Bottle: Poured a pale yellow color Berliner with a huge white foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of light tequila notes with some tart wheat notes. Taste is a well-balanced mix between some light tequila notes with some wheat notes and light tart notes. Body is light with excellent carbonation. I usually don’t like tequila barrel beers but this was an exception with great balance between the barrel and the base beer.
