Happy Canada Day!🇨🇦🍁🍻
You may be aware of maple syrup and smores but this is a super Canadian sweet treat - Nanaimo bars!🍫🥥
Thanks Mrs Squiddy for making a homemade batch 🥰
Named after the BC town Nanaimo, they consist of three distinct layers: a crunchy chocolate, coconut, and nut base; a creamy, vanilla-custard buttercream filling; and a smooth, bittersweet chocolate ganache topping.
Muskoka Brewery and Vancouver Island Brewing have collaborated for one epic porter! Huge in size and definitely one to jack up the blood sugar levels, and my god the barreling makes it even better!
🇨🇦 Nanaimo Bar Imperial Porter 9.0%
Sweet, coconut and smooth. Higher alcohol than a normal porter adds to the body and bolsters the beer adding a nice roundness. 568ml a lot for one but this sweet tooth was up for the challenge.
🇨🇦 Nanaimo Bar Imperial Porter - Barrel Aged 11.5%
Honestly up there with beer of the year for me (I know it’s not from this year, 2023?) The bourbon barrel of 6 months adds velvety vanilla in the mix with the coconut and chocolate, added viscosity and a fantastic aroma.
Both of these fantastic for the cold that comes with Canada Day in Australia!
Glassware Denver and Liely as always 🔥
Cheers legends, eh!🇨🇦🦑🍻
