49/449) Sarah's Café and Bar, Toronto: Ephemere (Apple) by Unibroue of Quebec: **; more apple to the nose than to the tongue; sparkling wine, sweet candy-like notes; sweet yeast and apple flavours; Stephen Beaumont suspects this is Blanche de Chambly with apple added; this was a bottle;
50/450) Monk's Kettle: Raftman by Unibroue of Quebec: **; yeasty Belgian nose; sweet Belgian inspired yeastiness with a touch of smoke; a portion of the malt is whisky malt;
Sarah's, on the Danforth, is a new discovery for me. I just happened to walk by after a meeting of the Richard III Scoiety of Canada. They do a terrific brunch and they have an outstanding selection of Belgian bottles. It is a charming place with great staff. I had to chuckle: the chalkboard referred to Sawdust City Lone Pine IPA as Railway City Lone Pint IPA.
