Black Oak Nutcracker
Has this delicious seasonal hit the taps yet? And if so, where can I get me some?

BTW, at C'est What this afternoon they told me that the Nutcracker would be replacing the Chocolate Cherry Stout when it was done. Now I'm the sort of guy who's always thinking of other people, so I made a valiant solo attempt to empty the keg of CCS. Unfortunately, in the end I had to admit defeat. I'll try harder next time.

Hi Everyone.
We are moving our Nutcracker Porter into the pubs.
We'll have three casks ready for Caffe Volo with the stipulation that I get some.
We will be getting labels for the nutcracker soon and bottled Nutcracker will be available hopefully by the 9th. My Seasonal boxes will probably be ready by January. Good thing I started working on this artwork in October.
(That's a supplier related dig )
We already have 1/2 of this years cases pre sold.
It will be available at my retail store (ONCE IT IS LABELLED)
but i can drop cases to your house in the Toronto Area.
I've made some new Nutcracker tap handles with a brand name on the top.
Look for kegs at:
Beer Bistro
Rebel House
Bow & Arrow
Dr. Generosity (Old Rebel Chop!!!!)
Victory Cafe.
I hope you enjoy.
Please save me some
thanx & Cheers
Ken
PS have a safe & happy festive season!!!!!!!

Ken, I hope I'm reading your message correctly and that you are saying we can purchase cases of the Nutcracker from you? If that's the case then I would gladly buy a case. Please let me know how I go about doing that if I can't make my way to Black Oak. Post here or send me an instant message. Thanks.Asst.

Has anyone been there lately? What else do they have on tap?Dr. Generosity (Old Rebel Chop!!!!)
I've only been once to the "Doctor", but that was when it first opened and I can't remember that far back.
And where do we order the Black Oak porter? Details please....I can't pass up on a chance for such a great, LOCAL, seasonal????
FYI Ken: ( or anyone planing on storing the bottled product)...I just found 6 bottles of Nutcracker I had cached had unknowingly in my cellar/cooer from last year's bottled lot. Even though it was kept at about 45 deg. F , I was ready to sink pour them as I had bought them about this time last year and being unpasturized I thought they were probably stale, sour or ruined.....my better side told me to try one first...which to my surprise was as pleasant as I first sampled it a year ago or possibly improved a bit.Asst.

These lasted the year but I'd hate to push them to 2 years I look forward to tasting the year olds against the fresh Nutcracker.
BTW: Thanks for this great spicy porter Ken.
