Thanks, that would have been pretty funny though. I scheduled it in my outlook as Thursday I've just got tomorrow 11am in my head as well for the girlfriends ultrasound. |
Good thing you didn't get those confused!

Yeah but last years was SO much better and... oh wait I haven't had the new one to compare them yet!!  Just wanted to be the first to carp and whine, which is I guess the tragically hip thing to do with Imperial Stouts...

I'm guessing that when we compare - this years will be hoppy, spicy, and generally a little more hot (there's more booze in it.) and last years' will have more chocolately, espresso, and more mellow smoothy goodnesss.
Both options are great in my opinionation - I did try it at Pints of March, and it did taste quite hoppy and a little spicy, but awesome?
I think what will be interesting is putting a year or so on THESE bottles and comparing them with last years.
I don't know why, and I have no evidence to back this up, but for some reason, I'm guessing these new bottles are going to age very very nicely.
Anyway - It's a great day to release a great beer! Happy Tempest Day!

I was there too just after 11, I saw JCC waiting in line and we witnessed a few fallen soldiers that got through the bottom of a cardboard case. An "angel's share" of sorts.

I am glad I did not see that, and it was nice meeting you phrleh. I assume you'd be safe going down tonight. Just give em a call before I guess. |

I think you got down there just before me, you might have met Jeremy (JCC), I was there about 11:20. I like the idea of a bottle of last year's batch. I do have a few at home, but it is a great idea for comparison.

That is a great idea. What is not a great idea is that apparently there is no bottle limit. |

I would have no problem with limits being in place even if that meant that it was harder for me to get bottles. Limits help keep hoarding in check. That said, maybe the hoarding phenominon that is so prevalent south of the border hasn't really crept up to Ontario yet. It does seem, for the most part, that people who buy multiple cases of these one-off Ontario releases do so to help other people out. |
