Smell: sour, alcoholy, like he sour I had last week.

Taste: a mix between wheat beer and the sour I had last week, no rhubarb whatsoever (unless I'm just used to strawberries and rhubarb...)

Mouthfeel: very sharp. Like tonic water, not creamy. Bubbly. 

Finished: like a vodka beer aftertaste. 

Overall: I want to like it because of the ingredients, but honestly there is nothing I like about this beer. It is literally a mix between a sour beer and wheat beer, and I don't like sour beer at all.

Porter (Dark Matter) - Hoyne Brewery - $7.50

Mood: first night back in BC! 

Where to Buy: Coal Harbour Liquor Store/ BC liquor

Beer Type: 

Ingredients: filtered water, malted barley, choice hops, yeast

Country: Canada (Victoria, BC)

%: 5.3%

ml: 650ml

Appearance: Dark brown/black

Smell: roasted, dark, strong stout.

Taste: stout like, but not annoying that it sticks around and is the Bain of my existence after it is done. A stout I can pleasantly handle

Mouthfeel: doesn't turn too creamy in the mouth, bubbly(ish) and kinda earthy if kept in the mouth

Finished: no real aftertaste, a bit of bitter stout, but not much. 

Overall: I like this as a stout. I like the potato one too but the difference is that this TASTES like a stout, and what I thought a stout would taste like. The potato one was just light.
