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.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of chocolate notes with some cinnamon and vanilla notes with nice light spicy peppers notes. Taste is also a mix of chocolate notes with some vanilla notes with some spicy peppers notes, some cocoa and a semi-sweet finale. Body is pretty full with an oily texture and good carbonation with no discernible alcohol notes. Nice Mexican style stout with a great balancer of flavors and very good drinkability.

Can. Poured a slightly hazy yellow color with a decent sized, medium white head. Aroma was light tartness, grain. Flavor was a bit on the light side, as expected, but the beer was really nicely hopped, with some very light tartness.
