Steamworks Brewing’s latest holiday stout is a head-scratcher—it pours a delicate white gold rather than a dark chocolate brown or black. That’s because it forgoes the use of roasted malts for whole espresso beans and Madagascar cacao beans, which impart a rich and familiar coffeelike flavour.

Find Winter White Stout at private liquor stores (from $5.49 for 650 mL) and on tap at Steamworks Brew Pub (375 Water Street).
