An Amsterdam night - The Nightman Cometh followed by Tempest. Actually, a blend wouldn't be too bad. A big hoppy RIS should be next, a'la Goose Island Nightstalker.

Its been in the States (at least in Rochester) for a while now. But LCBO, that caught me by surprise. The Imperial Stout is easily their best beer too.

It's been known this was coming to the LCBO since October; it's in the LCBO Winter Warmer's thread.

Anyway, for me it's been a weekend of bottles of Alley Kat Abbey Kat Quad.

During a homebrew session:

Three Floyds Zombie Dust
Glazen Toren Saison dErpe-Mere
Russian River Temptation

...and at Smokeless Joes:

Nickelbrook Bolshevik Bastard: not quite as good as Tempest, but an excellent RIS.

I know, I watch for those threads when they appear. Looking forward to the spring one coming soon. But the Nogne offering was a surprise for me as I wasnt expecting them to send the stout our way. Its as if the LCBO had a wire tap to my brain. What else, Andech's Doppelbock for spring, and FFF Alpha King in Summer?

Tonight, had a Simple Malt's OR sour beer. A Russian-river style sour beer with a sweet tooth, but I'd have to taste it blind to see if it stacks up (which I dont think it would).
