315)  The Burger Bar & Tequila Tavern in Toronto:  Double Dead Elephant by Railway City Brewing of Ontario:  **1/2;  stronger with more bitterness than Dead Elephant and less butteriness;  malty nose;

316)  Burger Bar & Tequila Tavern:  Fish Eye PA by Kensington Brewing Company of Ontario:  **1/2;  this was a test batch of what is to be their second offering;  prominent hop nose with flavours of gingery hoppiness;  I was reminded of Train Wreck, though I prefer the Gananoque brew;

317)  Burger Bar & Tequila Tavern:  Country IPA by Barley Days of Ontario:  **;  mildly earthy nose;  finishes with a hint of chocolate followed by an earthy after-taste;

318)  Burger Bar & Tequila Tavern:  Imperial Mild by Indie Ale House;  **;  slightly wine-like nose;  sweet mocha-ish notes;

It was unlikely that I would get through Toronto Beer Week without mis-behaving but as is my wont, I should point out that there were half pints this evening.  It was fun that Brock substituted a continuous running of Bob and Doug McKenzie's "Strange Brew" (the only movie to my knowledge ever filmed in Hoserama) instead of the regular black and white westerns on the monitor.
