Smuttynose Finestkind IPA
Quantity: 6 × Bottle 355 ml Price: $15.00
Went to the beer store today ... I left empty handed.
Same here. Although I saw the inventory on the employee's computer screen showed 0 despite the website showing they had it. I've had this experience before. I think TBS website inventory is often out of sync with reality when it comes to new listings.
I picked some up today at the Donlands-O'Connor store. The bottles are stamped with "Best By 03/09/16". It pours clear with maybe the slightest hint of a haze. Tastes mighty fine to me.

The best thing they released imo, was Gigantic La Formidable and that isn't even their recipe.

It seems to be http://beaus.ca/beer/le-coeur-noir/.

Can't comment on how good it is, but I've liked the Rainahard stuff I have tried and hate most Beau's stuff, but will give this a try.

UNIBROUE SOMMELIER GIFT PACK
LCBO 426775 | 6x341 mL bottle
Price: $ 13.95
The pack now has Fin du Monde, Blanche de Chamby, Noire de Chambly, Blonde de Chambly, Maudite and Ephemere Pomme. Don de Dieu and Trois Pistoles have been dropped from last year for the Noire and Blonde. I'd be more interested if the pack came with more Unibroue beers that aren't regularly available in Ontario.
A slight correction - the Ephemere included in the pack is the Poire/Pear, not the Pomme/Apple.

It's in the system for a few locations, so it should come soon. I find TO gets TBS listings a week or two before they actually show up (eg Dufferin Mall, Stockyards, etc) for anything of interest the past year or two.
