Sounds delicious. I'll keep an eye out for it when I'm down south.

Last night at The Rhino and Bellwoods Brewery:
Muskoka Spring Oddity (draught)
Bellwoods Berliner Weisse (draught)
Bellwoods Lost River Baltic Porter (draught)
Bellwoods Witchshark Imperial IPA (draught)

Wasnt feeling a beer when I got in. But wanted to keep my New Brew Thursday going on Untapped, so dipped into the SA Utopias 2009. As opposed to a whiskey. Not much left in my first bottle now. Still a great alternative to a cognac or Whisky. Love it.

Hop Rod Rye.

Not as hoppy as I remember, but a really great brew. Epic balance of flavour.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Except when we are talking about KBS. This is ridiculous. :o

Really?! Everyone has different pallates no doubt. I throughly enjoyed this. Was quite upset when I reached the bottle of the glass.

I prefer The much easier-to-get GI BCBS. I found it had a light ashy astringency not present in the GI. It's good beer, just I was so hyped into it it ended up not living up to expectations.

Glad I didn't trade too much for it.

lets fan the flames!

i love KBS, but think CBS is totally overrated - much rather have any of the other founders stouts over it. i think it's rated higher purely on rarity.

Meh, I enjoyed them both (had them side by side at the brewpub, first batch) but agreed with you and thought KBS better but would enjoy CBS as much in particular situation, say dessert sipper. Both fine beers and while base is same, very different.
