338) Home: Maple Stout by Cannery Brewing Company of British Columbia: **; tastes of sweet maple - real maple not your grocery store artificially flavoured syrup; I could almost feel the crunch of the sugar; nicely balanced by coffee notes;
339) Home: Ghosttown Stout by Brasseur de Montreal of Quebec: *1/2; this is an odd one; it is flavoured with absinthe which gives it very strong notes of herbs and roots; isn't absinthe the drink that drove Vincent van Gogh mad?; no matter, I didn't feel the need to post my ear to anyone;
It did remind me that since absinthe became available in Canada the experience has been on my list (says the guy who wouldn't pay $60 for vodka) if I can be certain I am doing it right, with the small spoon and the sugar. It reminds me of the routine to drink Yerba Mate. That took me a couple of tries before I got it right.
