I was under the impression that it's supposed to be the Boulevard Smokestack Series Bourbon Barrel Quad.

Lovely looking release list.

Yeah, on the list the country of origin for the Duvel is the U.S. so it's probably the Boulevard.

Another release to place our bets on what we won't see on the shelves :P Kidding aside, looking forward to Ten Fidy, Old Rasputin and restock of Orval and Westmalle.

anyone know if you can age/cellar canned beer? (ten fidy for example)

really wish lcbo would stop with the large format bottles. Was hoping for old Rasputin in 4 packs.

also, weren't we supposed to get Three Philosophers Quad as part of this??

Three Philosophers Quad was Autumn 2016 release so it appears to be delayed :roll:

i have some forgotten-about TenFidy. i'd guess that it would definitely age differently than a bottle would (due to the shape and headspace). but mine are possibly 2 years old and drink great. just don't expect complexity with age

Agree with the general consensus...a fine looking list.
Haven't had Old Rasputin in some time...nice to see it around again.

Three Philosophers Quad was Autumn 2016 release so it appears to be delayed :roll:
As was the Prearis Quadrocinno and St. Feuillien Brune. I'd like to get multiples of all three.

A great list, but I'll take the launch date with a pinch of salt. It's a little over a month away, but we've still only seen 4 of the 11 beers from the fall release...
