34/2634) Home:  Alexei by Wellington Brewery of Ontario:  **1/2; Bourbon barrel aged Imperial Stout with Detour coffee; aged four months in Kentucky bourbon barrels; a blend of bourbon and coffee to the nose; tastes a bit like Peche Mortel but the vanilla and coffee are more up front while the "dirt" or "mud" notes are toned down; very nice;

35/2635) Home:  Ghost Cow by Wellington Brewery of Ontario:  *1/2; 7.1%, 18 ibu; a milk stout with ghost peppers and cocoa; brewed with flaked oats, lactose, cocoa, Scotch bonnet, habanero and ghost peppers; considering the ingredients, a remarkable roasty nose; only the mildest of heat with sweet cocoa notes;

The bottle reads, "The way of the Samurai".
