Coming up on 5 weeks, and still no word from my LCBO. I know, I know, they said 4-6 weeks, so I'll try and remain patient. I happened to be at the store this afternoon picking up some wine, and stopped at the Customer Service desk just to check in on the off chance it had arrived but they hadn't gotten around to calling me. Is it wrong to expect that the person designated as the CSR be more knowledgeable than the average cashier? She looked at me like I had two heads when I asked about Utopias. Was completely unaware of the release, and of Utopias in general. She shouted over to the only other cashier, "Do you know if we got any of that Sammy Adams beer delivered? The $75 stuff?" Oh boy.

Here's mine, with my 2009 behind.ercousin wrote:Congrats everyone on the acquisition! Lets see some pictures once you gets your hands on it!

I had left about 2oz of the 2009 in the bottle - I hadn't taken any extraordinary measures to keep it beyond tightly closing the top, and storing it in the cool, dark basement. I was going to compare it against the 2012, but unfortunately the 2009 didn't fare well. It poured out a muddy brown and tasted BAD. The last time I had it, a few months ago, it was fine, but I guess there is a definite shelf life for an opened bottle.
