The bottles are flip tops are crown capped but have fliptops, which I think is cool. A bottle could last you a few days.
What do you guys think of the price point? I'm also considering the stout.
Derek: How much do these typically sell for per bottle in B.C.?

I think the high abv one's are $8 a bottle or more at the brewery and/or BCLiquor... the private stores can have a markup on that.
Looks like the Eclipse is $8.50:

The whole 1L certainly isn't good for the liver on a regular basis, but they're both very drinkable for their strength. Open one at lunch and finish it with dinner?

Hmmm... I guess I'm not going to tell you what it cost me to ship my 'cellar' across the country.
I'd say the price is reasonable (maybe only a dollar over the private stores here).
Amnesiac is drier and fairly easy drinking, like a big IPA. TEOTH just seems bigger, though the alcohol is well hidden. It has more of a malt backbone (even more than Tree's DIPA), but it probably has more bitterness than either of them.

I've drank it over a day with no problem and do that with growlers too. I may not like my brews as bubbly as some people though.
Tangent: The moving company wouldn't ship liquids. It was also during the heat of the summer and I have a few valuable bottles of wine, so we went with a refrigerated truck. To be honest, I don't remember the cost... I think I've blocked it from memory.
