Handwritten notes: I want to clear the air and admit that I was a Winnipeg Jets fan. Home town pride is one thing. Being a huge fan of a frickin' good brewery is another. No matter where this beer is brewed, it is stupid good. It's just a happy coincidence that it's brewed in my back yard. This is the third strong-ass dark-ass beer I've had in three days, and my liver is still kicking. At first sip you will taste a strong milk-chocolaty flavour, much like a cup of cocoa. This gives way to a solid smoky bitterness that brings forth a reticent admission of my love of prairie winter and a sadness at its having passed away. Winnipeg Manitoba lays claim to -40ºC winters and 40ºC summers. It's no wonder that our spring streets are riddled with potholes. There's nothing like a $850 car repair bill to usher in the spring. That, and a beautiful Half Pints brew.
