I was there yesterday. Everything listed on their website was still there except there was one blank spot on the chalk board, but I'm not sure what it was. I know for sure it wasn't witchshark, Roman Candle, Monogamy, or Blitzen.

The Monogamy Nelson Sauvin is awesome by the way. Reminded me a bit of Hill Farmstead Society and Solitude 5, which must be nelson sauvin heavy.
No Muggleweisse as of yesterday. Everything else up and running, including the Lost River Baltic Porter. Saw boxes marked "Belg. IPA" behind the cash as well, though that wasn't listed as for sale yet. Gonna stop in today to pick up some Monogamy, Roman Candle and (hopefully) some of that Belgian IPA to drink tonight while not watching the Super Bowl.

Looks like Bellwoods Brewery store now has Summit on for the single hop "Monogamy" APA. Be nice to session that with my last bottle of Nelson Sauvin.

I can't say any but nice things about the Lost River Baltic Porter. Dangerously tasty.

Still have a bottle from the last run back in the...hm...summer? Does it taste similar to last time.

You'd have to open that to find out. Oh you mean generally! I'd say yes, Jeff this batch is the equal of previous brewings.

It's hard for me to pick a favourite in the Bellwoods lineup - Hellwoods is the big and easy choice, but the Baltic Porter might win out for it's ability to be so damn drinkable, which I'm guessing a Baltic Porter should be...

Last I heard The Rhino still had it on left over from the festival and were selling full pints for about 6 bucks!

Lost River Baltic Porter is a beauty, smooth and rich but not ridiculously sweet.

I didn't mind the Bellwoods Baltic Porter, but didn't think it was a world-beater. I didn't find it to be terribly complex, or get any of the sour fruit notes I would expect (such as in LTM's version). Maybe I was just having a bad day.
