269/917)  Monk's Kettle, Etobicoke:  Shadowplay by Wellington County Brewery of Ontario:  *1/2;  a black lager;  malty & rich at start (like a stout in appearance also) with a mild hop bite at finish;

270/918)  Monk's Kettle, Etobicoke:  Mosaic IPA by Cheshire Valley of Ontario:  **;  gingery, floral nose;  strong floral notes; 

Readers will recall a similarly named IPA from Great Lakes Brewery.  They are distinct beers, named for the variety of hop being utilised.  The Cheshire Valley version is a collaboration with an individual from Toronto Brewing, a home brewing supplies store.

I have to say, the service at the Monk's Kettle is very good.  They are genuine beer lovers there.
