276 Mill Street Original Organic Lager Canada Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 1.0

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

What's with the 220ml of light beer? What's with the lack of aroma? What's with the lack of taste? The reality is.....what is with the lack of beer? Not a fan.

277 Mill Street Belgian Wit Canada Witbier 2.8

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4

I was worried when I read that this was a 'flavoured' beer. It pours a golden yellow with a white head. The aroma is slightly hoppy with some definite citrus notes. The flavour was very weak, and not enjoyable.

278 Mill Street Cobblestone Stout Canada Dry Stout 2.9

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

This is a beautiful looking black beer. A true stout. The aroma is rather weak, although there is some definite coffee hints. The mouthfeel is disappointing as well, weaker than a stout should be. The flavour is also somewhat watered down, matching the mouthfeel.

279 Mill Street Helles Bock Canada Bock 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

An interesting beer. The beer is a transparent orange with a small head. The aroma was of sweet malt and some hops. The flavour was a combination of malt, yeast, and a nice hoppy finish.

280 Mill Street Organic Oktoberfest Canada Marzen / Oktoberfest 2.8

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

This is another in a long list of orange coloured beers that I have tried through the years. The aroma is primarily hoppy, but there is some graininess. The flavour is slightly bitter, with a little spiciness, but again, there is graininess.

281 Mill Street India Pale Ale Canada IPA 4.2

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 9

I really enjoyed this beer. It's amber in colour with a white head. The aroma is as expected with a hoppy front, and a malty back. The flavour isn't as bitter as IIPA, but the citrusy bitterness is definitely present.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

This beer pours a cloudy orange colour with a medium-sized head. The aroma has a slight fruit hint that is offset by some mild malt and hop tones. The flavour is well balanced with some sweet malty hints and a nice hoppy finish.

283 Mill Street Pilsner Canada Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 3.0

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

Came in an undersized bottle, and with it came undersized flavour and aroma. The beer is golden yellow in colour with a white head. The aroma was slightly hoppy, although not florally hoppy. The flavour was also slightly bitter, but nothing impressive.

Available at the Mill Street BrewPub in Toronto's Distillery district. The beer pours a red colour with a pinkish head. The aroma is primarily malty with some wheaty and raspberry tones. The flavour was malty with some thin raspberry flavouring.

285 Unibroue Trois Pistoles Canada Belgian Strong Ale 5.0

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 10

The Unibroue Trois Pistoles is one Helluva brew. This is a dark brown beer best served in a tulip glass, the head is off-white, tight, and thin. The aroma is very complex, some roasted malt, and dark fruits are offset by a slight floral hoppiness. The flavour is an explosion. The cherry maltiness comes through with a little spiciness (cloves?).

286 Unibroue La Fin du Monde Canada Abbey Tripel 4.1

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

An excellent beer that pours a orange-brown colour with a large bubbly head. The aroma is a complex of malty tones, yeasty tones, and some spiciness. The flavour is very smooth and balanced between the yeasty flavour, and the fruity maltiness.

287 Unibroue Maudite Canada Belgian Strong Ale 4.5

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

La Maudite is a dark brown beer with a tan coloured head that lasts a while. The aroma is a combination of yeasts, citrus fruits, and spices. The flavour is very similar to the aroma with the yeast and malt coming strong, but the finish is nice and spicy.

288 Unibroue Don De Dieu Canada Abbey Tripel 3.9

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

The beer pours a hazy/cloudy gold colour with a huge generous fluffy head that comes down quickly. The aroma is predominantly malt and yeast with some citrusy tones present as well as spice. The flavour is that of malt, with some grain and spices to round it out.

289 Unibroue Blanche de Chambly Canada Witbier 3.3

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

This beer pours a hazy golden orange colour with a generous white head. The aroma was that of malt, wheat, some hops, and some spice. The flavour was only slightly stronger than the aroma with a matyly wheaty tone.

290 Unibroue La Terrible Canada Belgian Strong Ale 4.3

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

An excellent beer. It pours a murky dark brown with a huge light brown frothy head. The aroma is a complex mixture of malt, dark fruit, cloves, nutmeg, and a little bit of hops. The carbonation is almost perfect with this beer. The flavour is malty with some spiciness coming through.

291 Unibroue L'Éphémère Pomme (Unibroue L'Éphémère Apple) Canada Fruit Beer 3.8

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

The beer pours a cloudy gold colour with a white head, after a couple of minutes............you think you have apple juice with the strong up-front aroma of sour apples. The flavour is slightly bitter and sour at the same time suggesting a hoppy, appley finish.

292 Unibroue Quelque Chose Canada Fruit Beer 3.3

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

First of all, I wasn't really sure what to expect from a beer that is meant to be drunk...."hot". Did I invite the tall "hot" blonde from across the hall or what? I finally figured out that you are supposed to 'heat' the beer. So I did, and the sour cherry aroma was 'wow'. The transparent deep red was a beauty as well. The mouthfeel was weak, which I put down to the heating. The flavour was also weak, some maltiness, some sour cherry flavouring, but nothing that would make me want to try this again.

293 Unibroue Chambly Noire Canada Belgian Ale 3.7

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

A very black beer as the 'noire' would suggest. It's beautiful to look at. The aroma was a complex of roasted malts, yeast, some dark fruits (figs, plums) with a little hoppy tone. The flavour is similar in that there is huge malt taste up front and a yeasty taste in the end. A good beer.

294 Unibroue Raftman Canada Smoked Ale 3.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

The Raftman is an murky orangy gold colour with a light head. The aroma is that of malt, scotch, and smoked wood. The flavour is weak smoked wood with a little hoppy bitterness to round it out.

295 Unibroue Eau Benite Canada Abbey Tripel 4.2

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

This beer pours a hazy straw golden colour with a white head. The aroma is malty, yeasty, and some floral scents. This is a highly carbonated beer. The flavour is malt, some spice, and a nice hoppy finish. Very smooth and very drinkable.

296 Unibroue 15 Canada Abbey Tripel 5.0

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 10

I believe this beer has been retired. The beer poured a murky orange-gold colour with a thick white head that stuck around. The aroma was a complex combination of yeast, Malt, hops, and some fruity spices like nutmeg and cloves. The flavour is slightly sweet (malts??) with a little hoppy bitterness offset by the clovelike spiciness.

297 Unibroue 11 Canada Belgian Strong Ale 5.0

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 10

This is a retired beer that it took me sometime to obtain. The beer pours a murky golden yellow with a fluffy white head. The aroma is breadlike yeast, with some malt, and fruit spices.........and a hint of alcohol. The flavour is a cornucopia of goodness. Sweet malts, bread, and some sweet spices make up a great mouthful.

298 Unibroue 16 Canada Abbey Tripel 4.5

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

This beer isn't as good as some of the earlier anniversary issues from the wonderful people at Unibroue. As with some of the others, the beer is a cloudy beer, golden-orange in colour, with a generous head. The aroma was full of malt, yeast, and fruity spices. The flavour mimics the aroma, with a slight acidic bitterness.

299 Unibroue 10 Canada Abbey Tripel 3.8

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

This was the first of the anniversary ales if I'm correct and has long since been retired. The beer started off wee as it poured a nice hazy golden brown. The aroma was very complex, sweet malt, some grains, spices, and some fruit. The flavour was also very complex, but less so than the aroma. The flavour had a hoppish bite as well.

300 Black Oak Double Chocolate Cherry Stout Canada Chocolate Stout 4.7

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 9

This was delicious and decadent, but not overpowering. It's a very black pour with huge choclate aroma. The aroma is mimicked by the taste. The cherry flavour was minimal.
