376)  The 3 Brewers, Toronto:  The Holiday Ale by The 3 Brewers of Ontario:  **1/2;  described as "a festive amber brew rich in malts and hops";  it is nicely spiced;  I have been back a couple of times specifically for a glass of this one so it ranks pretty close to three full stars;

377)  beerbistro, Toronto:  Maudite by Unibroue of Quebec:  **1/2;  strong (8%) and warmingly spiced in the sort of way you wish every fruitcake was spiced;
