2017 Best Stout
A big, dark roast beer brewed in tribute to the Export Stouts of old, but with a modern craft approach. Layers of dark chocolate and roast coffee character with a strong hop bite. Clean and drinkable for its size but a good winter warmer just the same. Find out more.

Hardywood Park Craft Brewery, USA
2017 Best Specialty Beer
Brewed with lots of chocolate malt, cacao nibs and local red raspberries, Hardywood Raspberry Stout captures the essence of a decadent raspberry truffle in liquid form.

2017 Best Porter
Aromas of rich chocolate and roast in the nose, Modus Operandi brewed this porter with the idea of a version of Russian imperial stout in mind. A complex blend of nine types of malt form a blend of chocolate, roast and caramel flavour while still finishing on the light and dry side. Find Out More.
