on separate nights, btw.
LaTrappe was 'meh' compared to the other two ... too thin.

La Terrible was incredible. Really balanced.

17 is still a little warm/boozy. I'm interested to see what more time will do for it.

Did Big Rig actually have a decent beer?

No. The cherry is non-existent, rest of the beer is just okay. I do like their Hopfenweiss, however.

I did get a 25oz snifter at Ikea, though, so the trip out there was a success.

On cask at the Ottawa Food & Wine show it was delicious, but I agree that on tap at the brewery it was a different beer. Have a bottle but I am not raising any hopes on it.

Agree on the Hopefnweiss and actually enjoy all their offerings other than the Gold. Different strokes I guess.

just stocked up DDC Moralite again. I feel like this is the first locally available beer that will actually cut the number of my cross border beer buying trips down. No need to fuss over flower-power/sculpin/twohearted/etc any more.

What's the date on them? I bought a few from BDM yesterday bottled Dec 5th. 7 weeks and they're tasting quite nice.
