Just a note on this one.
Very much like Ithaca Cascazilla but with the added buttery goodness of Magic Hat. A great deep orange amber caramel with a off white fine lacing cream head. Bitter green spruce hops on the nose amongst the maltiness. Cherry, black tea, raisin with plenty of graininess and that dairy tang.
A solid entry in the never ending contest for beer you may want to have kicking around more often. A respectable five point eight.
Big big BA props.
If diacetyl is wrong, I don''t wanna be right.

Bought another six of this at the A-Bay Mart this week and it had a decidedly sour tang happening. Turns out it had a best before of March 2008 but, as it had sat in the cooler so long, it was quite a dignified addition to the taste.

Tried this yesterday at the Artifactory and it is probably the most disgusting beer I've ever tasted. Seriously smells & tastes like kitty litter.
