Re: Mill Street Roggenbier
I haven't had it but what are your thoughts? It may be a while before I get to grab some. I've had it at the brewpub and in bottle format. Good beer, nice grainy rye character, some pumpernickel bread and dried fruit, a bit smoky, very spicy and peppery mouthfeel, ultra dry, almost sour finish. Enj...

Lenny's right. It's a decent spot that offers some interesting stuff every now and then. These are the other taps and bottles I've seen there before: Caledonian 80 (tap) Cameron's Lager (bottle) Mill Street Original Organic Lager (tap) Big Rock Traditional Ale (tap) Cameron's Cream Ale (bottle) St. ...

Tried this last night and really enjoyed it. Nice grassy, apple aroma, sweet and grainy malts, a bit creamy, some cereal and wheat flavours, excellent Saaz spice on the back end, light and lingering bitterness. I paced this at 30+ minutes, but could easily crush it in 10. Scary drinkable. Muskoka is...

Best news I've heard in a long time. Thanks Milos, for all you do for beer in this province! Yes, thanks indeed, and BTW Milos, these new releases are INSANE. Hopsinjoor, Cuvée Blue, Samichaus, Lemon Tea on tap, with Beau's and Half Pints still to come? I'm in beer heaven! Long live Chancey Smith's...

Just to make all the BAs happy, I'm going to start writing page long reviews on RB just so that my reviews can be considered more in depth. Lenny - you're never shy on the hyperbole, but I don't think a page is what people are looking for, and length doesn't equal depth. My average review is about ...

Yes, I've picked up these elements in many of the US IPAs/DIPAs that I've sampled. However, with Ruination I got more toast and grain on the nose than I expected for a West Coast IPA. Others that I've tried, like HopSlam, Two Hearted, and the original Stone IPA, didn't have that amber/strong ale ar...

A lot of great IPAs still have a bit of a grainy/toasty character, usually due to attenuation - I wouldn't say they resemble an amber ale. I had a bottle of relatively fresh Pliny the Elder 2 weeks ago (was bottled early april), and it too has a definite toasty dry finish. The exception would be DF...
