Agreed its mouthwatering.

I would also recommend the Collective Arts Origin Of Darkness. It has huge vanilla and bourbon notes and worth every single $.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

What I really want to know is whether the LCBO is planning to bring back any glassware this year. The last 5 or so years there's been very little of that. Would love a good Chimay or Rochefort glass. This is listed on the website, maybe it’s coming this year? https://www.lcbo.com/en/chimay-quadrilo...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Awesome! Fingers crossed they bring back the Cuvee Van de Keizer as well - I really do miss that beer. Yes, it's great, but also a huge sugar bomb. It's lovely and all, but I have a hard time finishing the 750ml bottle, so it's got to be shared. Anyways, I dont think I've ever had a bad beer from H...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Guys, are there any beers currently in stock at the LCBO that resemble Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse? It's a perfect summer beer and I really miss this.

Re: LCBO Online Exclusives

Looking at their online exclusive category, it looks pretty pathetic and nothing is available There hasn't been a whole lot going on with online exclusives for a while. I think with the loosened booze restrictions Keep6 and others are moving things through non-LCBO channels now. Since they can't co...

Damn, I wish I could get that now. Aventinus is one of my all-time faves and go-to's. Looking at their online exclusive category, it looks pretty pathetic and nothing is available

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

This caught my eye. Bear Russian Imperial Stout An award-winning Scottish brewery crafting conversational beer. This full-throttle stout is aged for four months in ex-whisky casks. It pours black, revealing the whisky's influence with coffee, chocolate, fig, vanilla and orange preserve notes. It's ...

Re: Orval the hills and far away...

Yes. I did notice the Orval was not as strong as I remembered it. Still a great beer, but being inconsistent isn't necessarily a bad thing. Not as strong in what way? Taste, alcohol, funk? For me, it didn't have as much of the barnyard funk as I remembered. It was still a good beer, though I would ...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

Just tried the Collective Arts Bourbon Aged Porter and I am not regretting spending $15 on it. Must be a good sign but probably a one (or two) off. Seriously, beer tastes AMAZING, even while standing right next to an Aventinus Eisboch at almost half the price for same bottle. There was some weird po...

GLB's Meanwhile..Down In Moxee is drinking pretty darn juicy. Get it while it's still fresh. It's also well priced at $2.74 per can.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

IMO Komes, a hefty, sumptuous 9% Baltic Porter, is really great value at $3.65 for 500ml currently. Interesting you bring this up. Being an anal accountant I keep track of my "inventory" in a spreadsheet. One of the data points is a calculation of cost/ml of alcohol (i.e. a $5 10% beer is...

IMO Komes, a hefty, sumptuous 9% Baltic Porter, is really great value at $3.65 for 500ml currently. Agreed, and it's also great to see something from Poland that is not a pale lager. There is a real lack of variety in the central/eastern European selection in this province. More baltic porters and ...
