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.
