This is easily the best release I've seen since I moved to Ontario last summer. Not too shabby! I'll definitely be picking up a bunch of that and can only hope that somehow I don't like the Choklat.

No sign of the DFH 90 Minute that was mentioned in the other Fall thread... :-?
Here's to the slow path.

That's because it was never mentioned as being part of the release. Someone brought it up as a joke. Look back and see.

LOL I'm just about getting over all these powerfully chocolatey ST Dark Water Impy Stouts (JahVa and MoKah as well) but damn, they are really something. I keep coming back to them.

That Jason fellow brought a year-old Créme Brulée to a tasting last night and it pretty much made itself powerfully felt even after 14 other dark and powerful ales.

Speculative rumour, maybe, but I don't see the joke. Whatever. :roll:

I wonder if Trafalgar will do another fresh hop?

Regardless, it's nice to see this one being distributed:

173641 Muskoka Harvest Ale LAKES OF MUSKOKA COTTAGE BREWERY 6.00% 650 ML $4.95

Drink Local.

I thought the 90 min things was a joke too, and I think it is hilarious.

The real joke is that if a brewer makes any type of intense 90 minute type beer, the LCBO will nearly always default to the 'safer' option. They even tried to ignore the immediate success of 60 minute and sell the hoppy Brooklyn LAGER in its place... this is the complete paranoid wuss of beverage retailers.

I mean, ZERO double IPAs here? Surprising they sell anything over 7%.
