Minutes to Midnight

Minutes to Midnight is a mighty 11.1% barrel aged imperial stout brewed with vanilla, cherries, and cocoa. Born in Toronto to Bellwoods Brewery, M2M comes in 500mL bottles. It has a powerful and wildly sweet aroma that is primarily woody with bourbon notes, along with some cherry elements. The flavour is extremely potent, with vanilla and chocolate leading the charge up front, with sour cherry waiting in reserve. Nestled among these flavours are notes of molasses and tobacco, as well as a huge crush of ol’ fashioned booze.


Another bulky edition to Bellwoods Brewery’s catalogue of strong ass stouts, M2M is a strong and flavour-packed ale. To my mind, it’s a touch too sweet and the cherry is a little to dominant at the back end, but the overall effect is still quite enjoyable.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
