Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

You didn't read his followup post, he liked the second half better.
I agree that it has a bit of similarity to the more belgian-y St Ambroise, among many other comparisons I'd make (Pumking, Highballer, et al.)

Sometimes, I find you need to switch up the glass. The first time I drank it out my big Bellwoods snifter, but when I drank it out of a more narrow pint glass on the second day, found it much less sweet and boozy, but the spices came through nicely.
Got another bottle waiting for me, and looking forward to drinking it. I really don't mind a little paying extra for the swing top bombers, and have always liked that about Muskoka...it's always nice to drink a glass today, and then one tomorrow.

Those champagne bottle stoppers are great as well. I bought it thinking it would encourage me to drink less in one night, but lately I seem to be using it as an excuse to have a taste from one *more* bottle!
