Sinha is flavourful and complex, yet still approachable and easy on the palate. It's sweet without being cloying. I prefer it a great deal over Dragon Stout, the other FES (or is it a milk stout?) available at the lcbo. Dragon Stout has a flavour I like, but don't like past the second or third mouthful. Far too rich and sweet for me, and I like sweet beers.

According to Muskoka's facebook page and one of the Beer Store I called in Toronto, the Mad Tom IPA is available in six packs today in some Beer Stores.

Thanks for the info. I am not sure how I feel about that... I guess it is always good to see new beers but I do like the aging possibilities of the BCS.

Good to know. I should have also mentioned that I much prefer imperial stouts to Barleywines :) But I will definitely pick up a few Monsters to age.

Wow! That is the best news in a LONG TIME. I wonder if this is part of the fall seasonal or just a one-off ...

Do private orders from restaurants and bars show up in the system as LCBO orders as well, or are these definitely coming to retail stores?

I heard a rumor that RRIPA MAY be a permanent listing.... apparently being sold as individual cans not 6 packs.

I sure hope it is true.

...According to the Bartowel home page its 6 packs for a limited time.

Hopefully the sale numbers and enthusiasm for the Hopyard and Red Racer will compel the LC to bring these two back.

This one was in the works for a little while now. It was held up in social responsibility because of the girl on the bicycle promoting drinking and operating a vehicle. I wasn't told if it was going to be a year round listing, but I bet this is going to catch on quickly with a wide varriety of customers.
