Drinking it right now. Oddly similar to Lug Tread, bit sweeter, bit maltier. Not terrible, but I'm glad I only opted for one bottle.

Also, Boreale IPA. I was gonna give it a go at $9.99 a 6pk, but $8.49...? I'll be going back for more.

And does anyone know what Dunham Leo's Early Breakfast IPA's status is? Had it on tap a few weeks ago and loved it, but couldn't find any bottles today.

I enjoyed it but not as much as Peche, (the bottle says 9% as opposed to the 8.5% on RateBeer). I found the flavour a tad on the sweet side.

For a pilsener, I liked it. Alcohol is well hidden, but no real wow factor. I thought it was well put together.

It's a new recipe so it's quite different, found it a little sweet, but there was a nice bitterness to it, I still enjoyed it. Harold wasn't sure/forgot what hops were used this time around, and also mentioned it had a higher abv.

The cask only had a few pints left in it when I left, not sure when it will be back in that form, or on tap.

How was the White Birch? I've had 4 beer from them and all 4 ranged from "meh" to drainpour.

Same here. I am a huge DDC fan and Grand Noirceur seemed one-dimensional - did not wow me like my favorite 'would drink any day' Imperial Stouts - Bieropholie, Nøgne Ø, Stone & Stone 12th anniv, Victory, Southern Tier Oat & MoKah, Founders, Bellwoods.

Cameron's Bourbon Barrel Deviator Doppelbock.

Not good. This is the last bottle of anything not called "Rye PA" that I buy from these guys.

Goose Island Sofie - Will buy a lot of this when it hits LCBO. A notch above Matilda in my books.

I'm not sure. I assumed that they brewed a separate batch for the LCBO, so I would say no.
