There's no real hops character to protect, so the aging potential should be stellar. I keep lower ABV sours in the cellar without worrying.

Walked in and the display price was $6.85, my heart sank, but went to the cash and it scanned at $4.85....BakaGaijin wrote:This is just rolling out....it will be everywhere.portwood wrote:with "distribution" limited to 5 downtown Toronto stores, one Ottawa, and one Welland store, not many will be able to "take advantage"spinrsx wrote:Wonder why they have the cuvee rene marked at $6.95 on their list.. it is $4.95 at the store.

Usually, the initial price seems to be a placeholder....not the actual price necessarily. Website has the new price.
Sometime last year I drank a bottle that I'd held on to for at least two years and it was great. Definitely worthy of aging. Strangely though the bottle I had said 5.5% ABV on the original label, but had an over-sticker stating 6.7%... Either way, I think it's worth picking up a few.Masterplan wrote:What's the cellar life of the Cuvee René?

You don't see too many North American craft brewers attempt a rauchbier and those I've tried can't hold a candle to Aecht Schlenkerla. I will probably give this one a shot.
