How was it? I just got a bottle in a trade last week...

Very good, rather thick and low carbonation. Wait for a cool evening to drink it

Thornbridge Jaipur, very good but the Thornbridge Kipling is twice the beer just because of the Nelson Sauvin hops that are so well featured.

Very good. Lots of toffee, dark caramel and brown sugar. Very sweet with a nice warming alcohol presence to cut through the sweetness. Well done!
I had the 2008 version this past weekend, and got pretty much the same flavours coming through. Was very interesting towards the bottom of the bottle when all the 'sludge' was later added; delicious.

think you were both drinking the same one. glad you enjoyed! new batch in fermenters from the fall, back closest to our original 2006 recipe that won gold + best in show at ALES in 2009.

I don't think I even have any of that one left...

Having a Hopfenstark 16 Saison, maybe it's the yeast talking but the taste reminds me of some of the saisons I've made, I like it, although I haven't done a saison with rye yet.

Enjoy!
If you run out of things to drink

, a Pumphouse IPA (at The Maxwell's Plum) and whatever where ever Greg Nash is brewing so the rest of us can live vicariously through you!

Yeah, I plan to visit the Hart & Thistle right after my exam tomorrow!

I can see Garrison from my hotel window! I thought their Red (not to be confused with the Amber) was quite good. Nice malt profile, but still a fairly crisp finish. It's the only craft the Westin has on-tap, so I'm sure I'll have a few more.

Too close to the Henry House (Granite on tap) to not head there!

On Garrison... I assume it has something to do with NS Liquor laws, but man what a dissapointment to visit that great brewery location and store, see all those great bottles in the fridge, and only be able to buy samples of the few taps they offer. When I was last there, they had just put out the NitWit, it was a beautiful hot day, but I couldn't drink it on site!
