Well, nothing new in that release for me, but Burton, Smutty and Sam Smith's are all worthy of my attention. It's about time Propeller got some beer in the LCBO. They've been selling in BC for a few months now, and I've seen the Propeller Root Beer floating around as well. John Allen seems to be pretty aggressive with the cross-Canada selling, and hopefully we'll see his Pale and ESB here soon - it's been a while for me.
The Rogue Chocolate Stout is indeed a great beer. A little trivia - it was originally brewed for sale in Japan. However, for some reason the name doesn't translate well, so the Japanese name of the beer roughly translates as "Teddy Bear Beer". The Japanese bottles have a picture of a little stuffed bear holding a heart.
On the North American bottles, there is a picture of Sebbie Buhler - who lives in PA and is one of the best advocates of great beer in the biz (and a fantastically nice person to boot)!
Cheers

Here is the description of Burton Bridge Porter from the CAMRA Good Bottled Beer Guide Ingredients: Pale Malt,crystal malt, choclate malt Callenger and Target hops
A dark red, almost black porter with a aroma of fruit and choclate. Dry roast malt in the taste is backed by gentle, sweet malt, with dryness roast malt and bitterness coming through to dominate the finish
