La Trappe Quad from older LCBO order is drinking UFB now

Had to post my recent experience. Of my current collection, the last La Trappe Quad release from the LCBO is just blowing away all others right now. Do it, get it, enjoy it. To provide some perspective, my current favourite style as we go into winter is belgium dubbels, tripels, quads, sours, barley...

Some new product may be coming to y'all. Help an enthusiast who had a bottle die in transport before even trying.

Opened up a large bottle of La Trappe Quad from the last major LCBO release, 2011 vintage. Wow has it ever blossomed at the moment. The new forward flavour is candied sugar, like candy floss. Think Rochefort 10 (been drinking that lately as well) but much smoother overall. Just so smooth. Great.

My glass came in the mail today. Nice Utopias branding on the box and the glass. In combination with the utopias bottle, these are some very nice looking pieces. As said by DD, happy happy happy :D

Post that here rather than start a new thread. http://www.bartowel.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=8043

I agree. In my review I thought bar hop had the best international selection in TO. Can't wait to get back. :)

Rochefort 10, stepped up the sweetness with a Gulden Draak. Balance back with 3 Fonteinin Oude Gueze. What a trip. :D

Heading to Buffalo this Saturday. Anything worth seeking out down there right now? Premier Gourmet only has about 1400 different beer. So it depends on how picky you are. :-? You'll probably get a few suggestions here, but it seriously depends on what kind of beer you like. The staff at PG are grea...
