Flying Monkeys Invictus...

Notice this is out of stock online, which surprises my given the sporty $38 for a 750ml bottle.

Did anyone try this and did it in any way justify the price.

Re: What're you drinking right now?

I'm in a sour mood! :P Duchesse de Bourgogne Kriek des Jacobins Rodenbach Vintage 2013 All very good, the Roddy stands out for some extra funk and 'development'. The caramel is very smooth and the sour apple orchard notes very refined. I found the Duchesse to be a real challenge the first couple of...

Re: Best Craft Pilsners at the LCBO right now

I like Crushable Pilsner By Parsons Brewing. Although, since they are in Prince Edward County and relatively new, I'm not sure how many have tried that one yet.

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Was able to land 16 more cans of Collective Arts IPA No. 5, all dated February 14th. ...So that's what I'm having. Wow, literally two minutes after I made this post the UPS guy was at the door delivering the replacements for the two bad cans of No. 5 I had a couple of weeks ago. These cans also date...

Mill Street Vanilla Porter. First and last time for this one. Thin and nondescript. Just OK.

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Big Rig Brewery Release The Hounds Black IPA, which is quite good. Haven't had a lot of black IPA's, but Founders Dark Penance and Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous are two that jump to mind as being excellent. Ah, also BrewDog Black Hammer, which was exceptional. Only brewed once unfortunately.

Re: Beer Advocate Beer Styles...

I think I've shaved it down to about a half-dozen styles. Kvass, Happoshu, low alcohol beer, Faro, Biere de Champagne and unblended lambic are the ones that I definitely haven't had. There might be one or two others I'm missing. If you're looking to tick off a braggot, those Trafalgar meads at the ...

Beer Advocate Beer Styles...

If you go to Beer Styles under Beer on the BA website (as you all probably know), they list 104 different styles. Agree or disagree on the designations, I find it an enjoyable occasional exercise to run through them all to see how many I've tried. I've knocked off a couple since the last time throug...

Re: What are you UnCellaring right now?

A good thread to pull out the good stuff: Rochefort 10 - not the oldest bottle I've had but great. Archetypal Trappist. 05 - 2021 Kasteel Donker - developing some nutty flavors and a more delicately sweet subtle fruity-toffee palate VS the overwhelming sweetness of this beer when fresh. It's allowi...

Re: What are you UnCellaring right now?

Over the last couple of months I've been having some 5+ year old bottles of Rochefort 10 and 8, Westy 12, St. Bernardus 12, Chimay Blue and Red, Orval, and Peche Mortel. I find most of them are doing very well. I think the Orval is brilliant. The Peche Mortel, however, has shown no benefit as a resu...

Leave some IPA #5 for the rest of us!
LOL! I get a bit obsessive when I on something I love. I drink it until it runs out or until I find something even better.

Heard back from Collective Arts regarding my bad cans. Improperly packaged is what they felt. Anyway, there going to make it right.

Re: What're you drinking right now?

CA IPA 5-my last can I've got of this stuff and I need to get more. Love it. You'd better move fast and be prepared to travel. This stuff is selling fast. I agree, it's flying off the shelves. I'm in Belleville, not exactly a craft beer lovers haven, and their initial order is gone. There are 96 mo...

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Very strange. I just opened a Collective Arts IPA 5. Instead of hazy golden yellow, it's dirty water brown. I'd post a pic if I new how here. Any comments on this? Sounds like a bad can. How does it taste? I'd send CA the pic. They will probably make you whole, if it really is a bad batch. Also, wh...
