Im hoping youre right instantkamera...I missed both previous releases, mosrtly due to sloth...lol...and mostly due to not being a big IMPY STOUT guy until last couple of months
Everytime I learn something new I forget something old...like that time I learned to make wine and then forgot how to drive...

Witchshark was supposed to be released....but apparently did not hold up to the Witchshark flavour profile and will be released as another DIPA. Phantom Limb out now as well.

I have never been a huge fan of WS, so I'm curious as to how different the profile is. Boogie Monster, on the other hand, is awesome.

Ugh, not a fan of phantom limb...do enjoy Witchshark, but prefer Wizard Wolf, Roman Candle....and, perhaps Boogie Monster (I'll have to try thsi again, haven't had in a long time).

The new DIPA is pretty rough, lots of resiny taste...not bad, not a beer to seek out if you're not near the brewery though.

They used a different malt I am told.

Is this un-witchshark the bottle in the shop with the generic label?

Also Karma Citra. Both are in or almost in the LCBO right now too. It's a happy hoppy weekend.
