$13.95! I guess if you had a million dollars you wouldn't care (heh heh).

Maybe they can put out a Moxy Fruvous beer at a discount?

750 mL of an 11% beer? :o You may just end up bare naked (and running down the street) if you drink it all yourself.

Ha!!! Maybe Jian can get in on that!

Actually, $14 doesn't seem like a terrible price for a special beer that tastes like chocolate and hopefully pre-wrapped sausages. I'll gladly buy one.

Also, didn't FM have an 11% chocolate stout cask at sessions?

I wonder if that was a rough draft.

I'm picturing the BNL's in adds saying "Haven't you always wanted a Monkey?".

Too bad Great Lakes already has the nice Reliant automobile. :oops:

Well, Peter, I remember the cask at Sessions being delish, so I'm looking forward to this...

I look forward to this beer very, very much.
I was sort of spoiled living in London, as I got to try a lot of experimental FM beers via Adil, Peter and Milos. I really enjoyed that.

In Hamilton however, it is basically Smashbomb (which has been tasting great at the judge btw) or Hoptical Illusion at The Ship. There were a couple of those "mungus" beers around too, but they did not appeal to me at all.
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

... be great if we see this beer on tap in a single-serving size, too.
