The pale ale doesn't have the best ratings on RB but I grabbed one six anyway; it'll be interesting to compare it to Rhyme which I already have on hand.

I actually haven't been blown away by this feature so far. The Pale didn't do much for me and the porter was good but not as good as some others in the LCBO right now, I like Deschuttes and Nutcracker better. Scotch ales just aren't my style, so it's not fair for me to judge the other ones. I got a 4 of the backwoods and I guess I liked it more than any other of the style I've tried. All fine beers, but not as exciting as I was hoping for. I'm sure the breakfast stout will wow me, it is supposed to be the star of the show after all.
I'm inclined to agree with about the Porter. I just had my first one and it didn't blow me away. Last night I had a Backwoods Bastard and Breakfast Stout and really enjoyed them both.squeaky wrote:I actually haven't been blown away by this feature so far.

I didn't buy the Pale Ale or Dirty Bastard so I can't comment on those. At this point, I'd definitely buy more Breakfast Stout when it becomes available and probably hold off on the others.
Double Trouble is still my favourite beer I've had from Founders and one of my all time favourites beers ever.

For me, the porter is awesome. I was actually concerned that it couldn't possibly live up to my expectations but it did. Better than the deschutes IMO,
harder to compare to the nutcracker with the cinnamon element, which is excellent also. Creamy, rich chocolatey malted milk flavour with minimal bitter, better than Edmund Fitz and Anchor, again IMO. This will be my go to porter as long as it's here!

Agreed.....IMO this is the best porter not named Everettschomberger wrote:For me, the porter is awesome. I was actually concerned that it couldn't possibly live up to my expectations but it did. Better than the deschutes IMO,
