New and looking for suggestions!

Oktoberfest season is just around the corner. The Märzen might be just what you're looking for.

 

I dont know much about Canada and the type of beer you guys get over there so dont know how helpful I'll be as to certain breweries to recommend.
Maybe look into some cream ales. Also sounds like "dessert" style beers and or stouts might be more up your ally. Maybe even the british/english barleywines too. Not the American ones they can be more on the bitter/hoppy side.
Their are some malty more sweet IPAs out there but they have become far more scarce since the haze craze took over.
Also certain styles like quads or triples might tickle your fancy. Best of luck!

 

Scotch Ales, Brown Ales, and Dunkel Lagers for caramel and creamy.

Helles Lager, and Dortmunder Lager for bready.

 

This website has a comprehensive list of beer styles. Check it out at https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/styles/. Read through to find those that fit your taste. There are many examples of each style for you to look for. Good luck and welcome to Beer Advocate.

 

May i suggest some barrel aged stouts available to you. They may have some flavors acceptable to you.

 

Welcome to the BA site, amadori16. Your request for help suggestions comes up on a regular basis, so here is a link to a search that I did of this forum that asks for all threads that have "Newbie" in the title. This list should give you a lot of help:

Second the recommendation for Belgian Dark Ales and Dubbels. Check the beer styles here for those and the other styles you have enjoyed. You can see the most rated or top rated by styles. You can then read the descriptions and reviews for those beers to find some you might like.

Most rated = easy to find, will be good to great.
Top rated = great beer but may not be easy to find.

 

The Dark Belgians would be my first suggestions as well. I’ll also toss out Weizenbocks. I know OP doesn’t like spice, but the sweetness may override the spice.

 

Since you live in Canada some unibroue is a must try. Try their dark beers first and go from there.

 

I'd suggest Belgian Darks, especially the strong variety such as Chimay Blue or Trois Pistoles from Unibroue, which you should find easily since they're based in Quebec.

 

If you are going to try a Weizenbock, I suggest Weinstephaner Vitus. You may also want to try Weinstephaner Korbinian, a Doppelbock or Weinstepahner Hefeweisbier Dunkel, a Dunkelweizen.

The last one may provide the caramel and sweetness you are looking for without the spice.

 

I reckon that a good Doppelbock could work for you.

 

A lot of good suggestions.

You won’t have any trouble finding dark Belgian stuff at the LCBO. Westmalle and Rochefort are always available. Chimay too, although I think the funnel is only available in the large bottles presently. You’ll also be able to pick up the Unibroue stuff at the Beer Store. Imports from Germany are not as easy to come by here, beyond the light lagers. That said, Vius does rear it’s head at the LCBO from time to time.

If you are local to Toronto, I’d suggest giving Godspeed and Junction a try. Both do good With German styles. Try Granite if you’d like to explore some traditional English styles done well.

Cheers.

 

I am not sure what you have access to so very hard to give examples since most probably are not available in your area. Check some forums out and see if you can locate others in your area, they would be best suited to help since they know local items.
Good luck and just try everything in your area, does not hurt to sample and keep a list of your likes/dislikes. Work thru your beers and soon you will get an idea of your likes.

 

I second Scotch Ales, there are some really great sweet caramelly ones. Also consider Hefeweizens.

 

Trois pistoles immediately came to mind.

 

That would be an excellent choice.

 

DUNKELs.
