Any thoughts on the 2001 release of this beer?

Haven't tried it yet...strange that it's not listed on Brick's website. I'll definitely pick up a sixer for the holiday season.

You mean to say it's finally here? About time! Unless of course it was sitting at Brewer's Retail all along, which would explain why I haven't seen it.

I definitely look forward to checking this out.

It was released on November 27, and I picked up a six-pack last weekend at The Beer Store.

Joe, I did reply to your e-mail with a Private Message on this forum. Have you checked your messages? The reason I used Private Messages is that all my e-mails to you are returned as undeliverable because of "User unknown". I tried again today and my e-mail was returned. Are you on Rogers? If so, that might explain the problems, otherwise, I have no idea why I can't reply to you. Peter

I picked up a sixer a week ago, and it was quite good. I always give it a chance every year, and sometimes it disappoints. But this year's version was good, better than last year.

Although as I was drinking it I couldn't help reminiscing about Upper Canada's True Bock - a staple of the winter months during my university years.

IMHO, there's too much bitterness for the style (and I believe the bitterness is coming largely from the malt, not the hops). However, it is much better than previous years, and I'm happy with the six I have.
