Located
at 277 Alexander Street, The Old Toad is nothing
short of your traditional British local. From the staff
to the food and ales, everything is purely authentic.
Even the bar itself was imported from Great Britain. Truly
“a pub from over there, over here”.
Since its establishment in 1990, The Old Toad has built
a reputation for providing friendly, excellent service.
We offer a wide range of beer - from real ales, imports,
and local favourites, to our very own custom brews. In
addition, we serve traditional British meals as well as
contemporary pub grub (including vegetarian meals). This
is a relaxed atmosphere, there are no televisions or blaring
jukeboxes here. So please, come in and see what all the
fuss is about, mate. We promise, you’ll be glad you
did.

Maredsous
8 on tap
Pours
a gorgeous rich moist earthen brown, like fresh
soil, with a beautiful tan head at least 2 fingers
thick. It takes a couple minutes for the head
to settle into a luscious thin layer with brussels
lace. Sweet malty nose with hints of caramel,
prunes, and some winter spices. Sweet malts and
chewy yeasts up front with caramel and prunes
rounding out my initial impression. A dry finish
with a growing warmth. A richly complex dubbel
from Maredsous, Brussels lace continues to coat
my glass as I continue to quaff her luscious brew.
The further you go, the more the beer mellows
into a fabulous blend of sweet malts versus rich
bitter nuts and warm winter spices with a hint
of hop bitterness in the finish.
