278/1552) C'est What:  Draft Pumpk by Brothers' Brewing Company of Ontario:  **1/2;  6.5%, 25 ibu;  a Belgian style dubbel brewed inside an 853lb. pumpkin (see the video link);  brewed with pumpkin pie spice;  fresh pumpkin flavours with a spiced bite;  maybe I did give this an extra half point for the story but it is a great story;

Take note, U. of Guelph students, twin brothers Asa and Cotton Proveau intend to open an ale house in Guelph, perhaps in the spring, on Wyndham Street.

279/1553) C'est What:  Charcoal Porter by Innocente Brewing Company of Ontario:  **;  5.7%, 21 ibu;  gravity feed;  sweet mocha nose;  mildly sweet with flavours of mocha;  surprisingly dry after taste;

I managed to find this in an LCBO later:

280/1554) C'est What:  #55 English Bitter by Duggan's Brewery of Ontario:  **; 5.0%, 21 ibu;  a surprisingly hoppy nose for an English style bitter;  very piney;  I think it is best viewed not as an English bitter but rather as a hoppy goof on the style;  piney hop notes and a strong malt back drop;

281/1555) C'est What:  Alpha Bomb by Big Rig Brewing of Ontario:  **1/2;  6.6%, 87 ibu;  fresh citrusy piney nose;  piney resiny citrus flavours;
