Potato Stout - Black creek - $5.00

Mood: getting ready for brunch, who ever heard of potato stout? Cool! 

Where to Buy: LCBO Square One

Price: $5.00ish

Beer Type: stout

Ingredients: water, barley, potatoes, hops, yeast

Country: Canada (Toronto, on)

%: 5%

ml: 500ml

Appearance: Dark Amber

Smell: subtle unsalted potato chip and light beer

Taste: light for a stout, still has a stout flavour but not as intense of an aftertaste. 

Mouthfeel: turns creamy in mouth, bubbles remain, harsh on the tongue (burning) but no real bitterness. 

Finished: light, very light, slight potato stout? But I notice my tounge is burning. Like black pepper without the pepper. Almost a minute later don't taste anything but slight potato beer (like non existent) and burn. 

Overall: I am used to stouts being bitter and strong. This was surprisingly light for a stout and no real aftertaste, likes e slight potato taste! Only issue is the stinging feeling afterwards, a little intense. Will try if people are wondering what potato beer is, worth it.

Wheat Beer - Side Launch Brewing Company - $2.70

Mood: getting ready for work and trying what's left in the can from last night

Where to Buy: LCBO Square One

Price: $2.70

Beer Type: wheat (Bavarian style)

Ingredients: water, malted wheat and barley, hops, yeast 

Country: Canada (collingwood on)

%: 5.3%

ml: 473ml

Appearance: Light yellow and cloudy 

Smell: fruity, like hogarden. 

Taste: very light! Hardly even has a flavour

Mouthfeel: turns creamy in mouth, bubbles disappear, a bit harsh on the tongue (little burning) but no flavour 

Finished: light, very light, tastes like hogarden like I said, 

Overall: a very "light" flavoured beer, no aftertaste really, thought it looked like water when I was drinking it, good choice for a Bavarian style beer that is brewed locally. Very light! Very clean! Very good!
