RED ON RED COLLABERATION ALE
LCBO 360099 | 750 mL bottle
Price $ 9.95

It's a Flying Monkey/Central city collab. I think I've seen it on BarHop but am not sure if it's the same. The description in the bottle seems like a different beer from what I remember.

A few places had it around town - I know I tried it at Tequilla Bookworm a few weeks ago. And hey, I'm drinking one right now from the bottle. It's quite delicious. Dangerously drinkable. And one of the most "balanced" beers I've had in some time.

And would you guys say the Red on Red description in the bottle sounds about right? Because then I think I might have been served the wrong glass last week. Either way I think I will find out in a couple days.

That's hard to say since I don't have a bottle

When I had it at Barhop it was an Imperial Amber Ale.

Has anyone had this?

Unibroue Noire De Chambly

One of my locals has it, I'm a big fan of Unibroue 17 and Terrible and want to know if it's something similar and if it's worth cellaring.

not sure it's a good candidate for cellaring based on the ABV. It's a decent beer but it's no 17 that's for sure.

I find it hard to believe that the brewmaster at Amsterdam chose Natural Blonde.

I agree but, hey, this is the first OCB pack that I'm actually going to buy.

Thanks for the tip guys, I remember this being quite good on tap, and I'm surprised that the store around the corner from me has stock!

Definitely the best Discovery Pack thus far.

I saw the St-Ambroise Apricot Wheat ale in cans today. Can the oatmeal stout be far behind?
