    I agree everyone should skip it.

    Had the 2010 fresh and thought it was pretty good.

    HEB Buffalo Speedway still had about 6 Crime & Punishment each on the shelf as of this morning (and the same as last week).

    I hope you guys who are buying Crime/Punishment know what you're getting yourself into. I hear they're half a tick below heat wise from Ghost Scorpion, lol.

    I did not know when I bought it. I do now. I am afraid to drink it.

    However, I will do it on a bottle share for that reason. There is no way I can drink that between 2 people and survive.

    Not overly impressed with Merkin. Definitely not in the same league as their other releases IMO. Good, but not great.

    You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to use them as trade bait, not drink them!

    Yes, please all DFW people, skip it. :grinning:

    Honestly, it's a matter of taste/opinion, worth the chase, maybe not the level of BCBS, but def worth acquiring, I liked it...

    I thought it was great. It's one of the best BA Oatmeal Stouts (read, not imperial) I've had. If you are expecting Parabola, you will probably not like it so much. Just realize it's thinner and it's got a wonderful oatmeal barrel thing going on and you'll probably enjoy it more.

    Agreed. I thought the flavor of the beer was fantastic.

    It makes me sad that I knew what a merkin was without clicking the link.

    Maynard James Keenan's vineyard is named Merkin Vineyard.
