Porter & Stouts Tasting

We convinced eighty-two people to come over to the dark side, for at least one evening, on Wednesday March 16, 2011. On offer were ten of Ontario's best black beers, seven served from cask.

Almost universally loved was Muskoka's first foray in the style, Double Chocolate Cranberry, which finished with a median rating of 41.5 out of 50. Also well appreciated was Duggan's #8 Porter (37.0), which topped the porter. category. The extremely full-flavoured Grand River Russian Gun Stout edged out Wellington in the imperial stouts bracket but there was wide disagreement between our judges. The Russian Gun is definitely a love-it or hate-it kind of experience.

Third and fourth overall were C'est What's Steve's Dreaded Chocolate Orange and Great Lakes Harry Porter, vanilla bean cask. It seems that wacky was indeed wonderful on this night.
