I've heard this is making its way to London, so I am really looking forward to it.

Get thee to The Rhino. Just $5.25 for a pint of this lovely stuff. Pouring well today. Staff confirmed that it's 8% so beware.

Does anyone know of any other bars or pubs that have this on tap? The Victory maybe?

Worth hunting down at all costs that do not involve the personal loss of a gonad.

Definitely at the Rhino right now. Ken mentioned that Volo was getting some, though I don't know when that's going to be tapped. Possibly C'est What and the Victory, but it wasn't on at the Vic this evening. Oh, and to echo Belgian, hunt it down at all costs; an extremely satisfying beer.

I heard a rumour that C'est What? will be tapping it late Friday.

I had 3 pints of it Monday night at the Rhino. Loved it. 8%? I had no idea. But I did wonder why I was getting rather bombed.

Still waiting for it to appear in London. I know people are working hard at trying to get this beer down here. It'll be great exposure for Black Oak I'd think.

I went hunting for this last night. Struck out at Victory, Volo and C'est What. Should've tried the Rhino.

I was told at the Victory that they didn't have any, never had had any and weren't going to get any since it was too strong.

Volo said they were holding it until Sunday when they planned to tap it.

I just tried this at C'est What tonight.... wow... I think this is the best Ontario beer I've ever had. After the first sip it reminded me of Pliny the Elder. Awesome!

Had some on cask at Volo last week and it was pretty awesome. It definitely needs to come out more frequently than every ten years!!! :wink:

This was supposed to be delivered to London this week but the beer did not show up for some odd reason or another. Hopefully it arrives this week instead.

I stopped by Black Oak yesterday to get some, only to be told there is none left in bottles. Which sucks, 'cause I don't get to Toronto too often. Next batch will Jan or Feb, by the sound of things. I "settled" for some Oaktoberfest, Summer Saison, and Nutcracker. Then I went around the corner and got some Denison's and Duggan's. So I'm feeling better now.
