270/1544) Home: Wellington 30th Anniversary Ale by Wellington Brewery of Ontario: **1/2; 8.2%, 40 ibu; brewed with heather tips and elderberries; a blend of two beers, an ale brewed with elderberries and aged for three months in Kentucky bourbon barrels and a dry-hopped imperial golden ale infused with heather tips; nose of berries, oak; flavours of berries, bourbon, vanilla, oak and alcohol; the alcohol is particularly strong at the finish; very complex with an elderberry and hop finish;
Happy anniversary, Wellington!
271/1545) Home: Vintage Ale 2015 Harvest Ale by Collingwood Brewery of Ontario: **; 6.9%, 35 ibu; brewed with wildflower honey and fresh hops from Meaford; unfiltered and as a result there is a sediment at the bottom of the bottle; the hop head in me asks, why add honey?; nose is sweet honeyed malt; hops are largely offset by honey; still, a dry after taste;
