TRUE BREW continued from page 33
cans ... and I am sure we’ll do another crazy cask as the original Kahlua Candy Cane version was indeed a Christmas Miracle! Look for a launch party and this year’s version of the Gingerbread Christmas Ale to be available in early December! In between brews I decided to sample one of Big Rig’s fine offerings that is also available at the LCBO (5.6% ABV
473ml can $2.95). Big Rig’s Midnight Kissed My Cow Milk expertly
poured into a logo pint glass at the Iris Road Big Rig Kitchen & Brewery shows a deep burnt umber with one finger of frothy oatmeal hued head. Big aromas of cocoa, strong roast, mocha/ coffee, caramel and a whiff of smoke set the mood for waves of chocolate-y goodness. First tastes of dark chocolate are followed by roasted malts reminiscent of coffee then milk chocolate (chocolate milk?), cocoa, light caramel and hints of nuttiness, lactose sweetness, vanilla and licorice. The mouthfeel is medium and slightly sticky but doesn’t linger too long. I can see this delicious double milk chocolate stout replacing some non-liquid desserts ... or settling in nicely beside them (think cherry cheesecakes, biscotti, gingerbread cookies, brownies and more). Cheers!

3. Golf at Loch March in the afternoon. Then a Sens Leafs game that night. Dan Champagne (left) myself and Paul Patterson (right) watching the Sens beat the Leafs.
4. Just missed. My event trailer dodged a bullet when a tree came down with the first early snow. Luckily no damage done.
5. The deer hunt was slow this year but luckily Carter Corbin was able to bag an 8 pointer on our second last night. His first deer ever.
