VICTORIA, BC – Phillips Brewing has brought back winter seasonal The Hammer Imperial Stout for another year, this time in two different versions:
The classic, perfectly suited to tearing down the wall, is full of rich, roasted flavours and creamy mouthfeel, as always. A Bourbon barrel-aged version, with smooth oak and smoke notes, is somewhat more mellow in flavour, possibly suited for more refined hammering tasks, such as fine wood work or possibly the hammer toss.
Both variations on The Hammer are available now in select cold beer and wine shops in the Victoria area, as well as at the brewery.

- Greg C. is drinking a When In Rome by Bar Hop at Bar Hop BrewcoFruit-flavoured stouts aren’t usually my kinda thing, but this is a good one. Berry flavours are very natural & work well with the beer.
- Greg C. is drinking a Steadfast by Tooth And Nail Brewing Company at Bar Hop BrewcoTicks all the boxes - dry roast malt, cocoa, hints of coffee & toasted nuts, bit of twiggy bitterness. A spot-on porter!
- Greg C. is drinking a Dubbel Entendre by Black Oak Brewing Company at King & Dufferin5.5 year old bottle. Noticeably oxidized but still enjoyable. Notes of dried fruit, baked apple, coffee, rye bread & dark malt. Warm finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Kindred Spirits by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinSimple & solid robust stout with nicely integrated whisky & wood notes. Sweet but not overly so. Pretty well balanced, actually. Well done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Petrus Winter #9 by Brouwerij De Brabandere at King & Dufferin3 year old bottle. Notes of caramel toffee and autumn/winter spices. Oxidization and fairly light carbonation belie its age. But still good.
