I think I was one of the later few that got a sip of the Tokyo. Damn amazing is all I remember taste wise though. Thanks again for that, and the scotch.

That sucks. The colonel got his way, apparently.

I also remember apologising profusely because the Rip Tide which got hoovered up at the beer run turned out to be rubbish. Taste ruined by transatlantic shipping. Then it turned out that it was just a duff bottle.

I got a bunch of bottles of Rip Tide here at Whole Foods for *cheap*. The buyer there noticed that the bottles he had were past the expiration date on the bottle, which seemed a bit odd for a heavy stout that only hit our area a few months ago (right after DanJam actually). So he called Brewdog personally and asked WTF was up, and they informed him that it was a misprint, and they were actually good till 2012 or so. He ordered everything the distributor had left, that was about to be dumped, and ended up selling it for just over $3 a bottle. They were better than what I tasted at DJ, although still light on carbonation. I gathered that to be a standard feature of all their beers.

The gin was also ill-served. But we did have no cucumber.

I just finished off the last of the gin about a week ago. Good tonic is not to be found in my town, and the last gin and tonics I made with the Blackwood were held back by the poor quality tonic. So I drank the last finger straight. It was a powerful dram but very enjoyable in a tooth-enamel-stripping way.

First bottling is gone. Second bottling is going fast, so if you're not sure about pouncing, pounce now.
