From and espresso latte Last night to a tea latte tonight. Beau's is the employee-owned co-operative brewery from near Ottawa in Ontario. They have paired with online tea retailer David's Tea. Brewed with lactose and vanilla and David's Tea Organic Cream of Earl Grey tea. this beer actually nails the taste of London Fog Latte.

Let's try it out...

Honey amber in colour with a fluffy, off-white head made of small bubbles. The aroma is malt, black tea, and scalded milk. The first sip is exactly what the beer advertises. a London Fog Latte. Scalded milk tea and vanilla dominate the attack. I am not getting much bergamot if any but the effect is stellar anyway. Very simple beer not much else going on but it is exactly what it says it is. Aeration spikes up the black tea and vanilla and allows a long drawn out cooked milk finish.

Impressions: Fail, So-so, Pass, Exceptional 


Cost: 5/6 PASS

Final Thoughts:

As I said before, this beer is spot on when it comes to the drink it is trying to emulate. It's a very good beer and easy drinking. I enjoy Earl Grey Tea but I wouldn't think of having it added to beer. I'm glad Beau's did though. Check this one out while you can.

Cheers
