talisencrw	3.1 F & M StoneHammer Premium Dark Ale A tad too mild for my palate. Not bad, mind you, simply decent but forgettable.

JoeMcPhee	3 F & M StoneHammer Pale Ale Amber-gold pour. The aroma is lightly sweet and caramelly with a bit of toffee and some light orangey hops. A bit of a soft bitterness and a herbal/bitter orange hop flavour. Sort of a throwback to the malty pale ales of the early 2000's. Sunday, December 31, 2017
JoeMcPhee	4.1 Stonehammer Continuity Baltic Porter Deep dark black pour with a creamy tan head. The nose is great. Rich cocoa and light sweet malt with a touch of chocolately sweetness and a bit of molasses. Rich and sticky with a solid bitterness helping to bring the stickiness under control. There's a great complexity in this beer. Rich and intensely sticky. There's a heavy roastiness as it warms. Damn tasty beer. Sunday, December 31, 2017

CoraxCicerone	4.5 Stonehammer Continuity Baltic Porter Love the aroma and the deep taste. Reminds of the deep brown and black Trappist beers from Belgium. Great to find a Canadian option for these, my favourites. Saturday, June 24, 2017
mabel	3.7 Stonehammer Continuity Baltic Porter [9220-20170521] 500mL bottle. Roasted sweet malty grains aroma. Black body with a medium-lasting foamy light tan head.

jercraigs	3.6 Stonehammer Continuity Baltic Porter 2017-05-21.

pootzboy	4 Stonehammer Continuity Baltic Porter A gorgeous dark roasty malt bomb - I have been searching for a local Baltic ever since my beloved Ockocim baltic was pulled for the shelves - this is a direct substitute - rich, dark, malty satisfying with light hints of figs and grape leaf.

JDW93	2 StoneHammer Oatmeal Coffee Stout Wednesday, January 18, 2017
czar	2.7 StoneHammer Pilsner can. pours unclear bright gold with a small white cap offering some retention and lacing. honeyed pilsner malts, mountain dew*TM, caramel/diacetyl; white grape maltiness, some grassy herbalness, so-so yeast. moderate carbonation - almost spritzy; light body - fairly thin for its abv; balanced herbal-grassy finish. surprisingly, its pale lager (which is quite reductive) little brother, F & M StoneHammer Light, seems to reflect a tiny bit more a cleaner lager as it did not contain as much off-flavours, but close.

BrewWhatIWant	4.2 Stonehammer Continuity Baltic Porter Pours black with mahogany hues, and a beige head. Aroma is malty with hints of cocoa. Taste is sweet with a slight bitterness. The creaminess is immediately apparent. Notes of dates and milk chocolate are present right off the hop, leading into darker roasted flavours including creamy coffee, smoke, cocoa, cashews, butterscotch, a hint of liquorice and malt. In the aftertaste their is a hint of floral or herbal hop notes. This is the creamiest beer I have had without nitrogen. Full of roast flavours without any off putting elements. If I can say one negative its that it is a bit heavy on the finish. Sunday, December 18, 2016
