361/3711)  Home:  Mountainview Stout by Bench Brewing Company of Ontario:  ***1/2; 6.0%, 20 ibu; grain bill is malted barley, wheat; nose of roasted malt and dark coffee; roasty flavours with coffee; no additions or adjuncts, just a solid, straight forward stout, the sort one can manage more than one of;

Billed as "The beer from wine country".

362/3712) Home:  Bestowed - S'Mores by Third Moon Brewing of Ontario:  ***1/2; an 11% Imperial Stout with chocolate, marshmallows and Graham crackers;  nose of Graham crackers, coconut,  marshmallow and chocolate;  coconut and graham cracker are definitely the most prominent flavours, overshadowing the vanilla, marshmallow and chocolate;  a slow sipper for certain;  it is very nearly too much;  I could not possibly down more than one;
