Muskoka has released a stout that while I didn't enjoy as much as hoped the first time was still pretty good. Not as good as their Dark Ale though, which was a favorite of mine before they discontinued it. I stopped at the brewery on my way to a wedding and their current monthly brew was a Dark Cream Ale, but it wasn't ready yet
Picked up another Winter Beard to give it another shot. I didn't think it was nearly as good as the Flying Monkeys Chocolate Manifesto when I tried it the first time, and it was more expensive to boot.
Grabbed some stuff for the cellar again, including some Rochefort 10s, a Unibroue Grand Reserve 17. Wellington released their Kentucky Cow, their Chocolate Milk Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels. Not sure if I will let one of them sit or not.
2 year old Rochefort 10s are delicious. As is the Flying Monkeys Chocolate Manifesto more than a year(and just delicious period anyways).
Was not as much of a fan of the Beau's Oktoberfest mix this year. Their best of should be pretty great though. The DARK HELMÜT I had last year was fantastic.

QUADS & ROCKERS
BELGIAN-STYLE QUAD
10.5 % • WILD OATS NO. 70
This extra-strong Belgian-inspired ale is dark and full-bodied. Expect rich, malty and bold flavours, with noticeable alcohol warmth. Quads & Rockers is tailor-made for beer drinkers with an eye for style and a taste for tradition.
Amazingly the Milton LCBOs seem to have gotten even worse for beer selection. I didn't think that was possible. I made a trip to one in Burlington to grab seasonal stuff that would move fast. I wish I lived closer to the Wellington brewery
