WHITBY, ON – Following on last weekend’s release of the ultra-limited The Mistress Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, Whitby’s 5 Paddles Brewing has announced the release of a second one-off seasonal stout, this one arriving just in time for Valentine’s Day gift giving.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Stout is a richly flavoured stout brewed with cacao nibs from ChocoSol Traders and fermented with local strawberries from MacMillan’s Orchards.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Stout is available now in 650 ml bottles at the 5 Paddles retail store while supplies last.

- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Holiday Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & Dufferin1+ year old bottle. Aroma of port and spice, notes that follow in the flavour plus cherry & menthol. Some booze heat despite the age. Nice.
- Greg C. is drinking an Oude Geuze (Vieille) by Brouwerij Oud Beersel at King & DufferinNot as lip-puckeringly sour or mind-bendingly complex as some lambics, but still an old fave that I always enjoy.
- Greg C. is drinking a No Love Lost Sour Cherry Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinDelivers what the name promises - a rather good Saison laced with sour cherry that is unmistakably present but not overpowering.
- Greg C. is drinking a Coffee Oatmeal Stout by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinSurprisingly good for a 20-month-old bottle. Coffee is still nice & punchy, good notes of chocolate, oats & nuts in the background.
- Greg C. is drinking a Dueces by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinPretty much a textbook IIPA with no especially distinctive qualities. Finish is a bit harsh, but could be evidence of the high abv. It’s OK.
