Winter Warmers

On February 21, 2007 fifty hearty souls each poured nine unknown fluids down their throats in search of winter beer enlightenment.

When the "blindfolds" were removed there were a number of surprised participants and a some new favourite brews.

Although the lowest in alcohol at 5.5%, the Black Oak Double Chocolate Cherry Stout was judged to be the "bomb" with a median score of 43 out of 50. The Amsterdam Tilted Kilt Scotch Ale and Great Lakes Winter Ale were also well enjoyed, both garnering an excellent rating of forty. The surprise entry of the two-year old Mill St. Barley Wine 2004 met with mostly positive (but mixed) reviews generally proving the preservative powers of alcohol.
