Mill Street Distillery Ale

Brewed by Mill St. Brewery
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Toronto, Canada

Bought a growler at the pub. You know, im not positive, but im pretty sure this is a mix of all the left-overs of the other beers. Not to say thats bad, because i did enjoy it with a couple friends. It was a pretty solid drinking to get drunk beer. Deep red/amber. Very sharp hoppy nose. went down smooth, and fast. Not bad!

A growler from the brewpub, shared with the inlaws. Sweet, bready aroma. Nice deep red body, with a frothy tan head. The flavour was oddly stout-like, with hints of coffee and roasted malts. Medium bodied and smooth, with decent carbonation. This is definitely one of Mill Street’s better brews.

Full leafy, hoppy nose, strong malt too, copper, pours a large short lived tan head. Big fruity hops flavour burst, red plums and other pitfruit, with a fine underpinning of malt. Very well balanced, nicely bitter. Terrific version! Sadly the last new beer by the former Brewmaster Michael Duggan. All good wishes for You Michael.

Draught pint at Mill Street Brewpub. Burnt sienna colour (thanks to my wife for that description!) with a good sized dirty tan head. Nice aroma of mellow roasted malt, tobacco leaves, fresh bread and a bit of coffee. Medium bodied. Flavour is mellow as well, but nice, with toasted malt, some woodiness, a hint of smoke, and soft & pleasant hops. Quite nice stuff.

Growler. Pours a dark, copper-red body with a small white head. Slight cardboard notes amongst an otherwise caramel and sweet dough aroma. Tastes a bit nutty, metallic, and essentially weak in the flavour department.

[259-20070413] Growler (c/o tupalev, w/ him, blankboy, HogTownHarry, jerc, mds). Chocolate malt aroma with a sweet and milky rich quality. Clear, dark red body with a quick creamy white head. Tastes like bread soaked in chocolate mixed with a little booze. Creamy medium body. Nicely blended.

Growler shared with HogTownHarry, jerc, mabel, mds & tupalev -- courtesy of tupalev. Pours a clear deep amber with an average size diminishing off-white head. Aroma of lightly roasted malt, some smoke, grain, nuts and light hops -- nice and not at all what I was expecting. Flavour’s the same: Lightly roasted malt, some grain, nuts, smoke and light hops -- tasty. Medium bodied. Pretty good stuff, I quite liked it.

Growler shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, Jerc, MDS, and Mable, from the brewpub. Dark brown, small tan head. Nice malty aroma, hint of smoke. Good taste - nutty, lots of malt, lots of roast, hint of smoke. A really solid brown ale - similar to Hockley but with lees hops and more flavour. Good stuff Mill St.
