501 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.

502 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.

503 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.

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.

506 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.

507 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.

508 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.

509 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.

512 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.

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.

514 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?).

515 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.

516 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.

517 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.

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

I really enjoyed this beer, it was a pleasant surprise. It is a pale clear gold colour with a white head. The aroma is nicely balanced between malt and hops. The hops come through in the flavour leaving a nice dry bitter finish.

519 Mill Street Barley Wine Canada English Barleywine 3.4

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

I've had the opportunity to try the 2003,2004, and 2005 variations of this beer, although if truth be told, the variation between the vintages was less than I've encountered among bottles of Budweiser in the same case. The beer pours a reddish brown with a tan head. The aroma has malt up front, but a few more whiffs and you notice the extra spicy sweetness. The flavour is malty with less of spiciness found in the aroma.

This is a red beer with a frothy tan coloured head. The aroma is not very strong, but there are hints of spice and some perfumey hops. The flavour is rather bland as well. Not as bitter as I would have liked.

This beer is a very dark brown in colour, almost black. The aroma is heavy on the coffee..no question what the bloodlines of this beer are. The flavour is a of a slightly sweet coffee.

523 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.

525 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.
