Founders Imperial Stout (2014)

This should have been made in significantly higher quantities this year, correct??

Based only on their new schedule that has it being released January-March. . .

 

reports

of single bottles being sold round these parts. craziness.

 

Sweet Mercy !!
Finally hit Metro Orlando some time between between last Tuesday and today
I picked up Two 4 packs($12.99) at my local brand new awesome ABC store tonight.

None were on the shelves with the other Founders stuff, but Glorious Miracle when I turned and saw they had some packs in the Cooler.

Not sure if its because it is so fresh, but the 10.5 ABV is very noticeable with the bottle I cracked open 10 min after pulling into my driveway.. Still tasted incredible though.

 

All over the Twin Cities now, as well as across the border in Hudson. Picked up my initial two 4pks, will give others time and then will start picking up all the stragglers I can afford.

 

Will do I'm expecting good things...IPAs/DIPAs really seem to come even more alive following an Imp Stout. The FIS was extremely drinkable for the ABV. I need a snifter. I've always steered clear of snifters, but now I see the need.

 

this shit is the bomb

 

Just did this year vs last years (which was kept in my beer fridge at about 45-50 degrees). Last years was a little better (both me and the other person agreed)

 

It is amazing....can't wait to grab some from my Midwest buddies

 

Have a four year vert of this goin...honestly I favor it fresh over aged...aging tends to dry it out a bit too much for my tastes...I love the full flavored punch in the mouth a fresh bottle provides...cheers!

 

DEFINITELY picking some of this up after work tomorrow for the weekend! Is it really any better than past years? or have you all just missed it THAT much since last year?

 

A bit noticeable in my opinion too..but it should mellow with cellaring..if you can hold onto it. Why I bought a case!

 

Picked up a case of FIS at Moore Beverage in Philly yesterday. Hallelujah!

 

Good job! That's where I got my case. Going to drink 2 4packs....cellaring 4 4packs

 

Drinking one right now - so good!

 

It's an awesome beer. I'd put it neck and neck with Old Rasputin. I bought a four pack to cellar, so I'm excited to see what it's like with some age on it.

 

Has anyone found this in NJ yet? I live in central NJ and have been searching with no luck.

 

Got some. Paid 12.99, but also saw it for 13.99 at another store.

 

I am so glad Founders comes to Fl now, because this beer would have escaped me. I got to sample FBS through a few trades this past year before they started distribution in my state, FIS was not even on my radar. I have to say, I am enjoying their Imperial Stout over the FBS now! Now I can't wait to see how this beer will taste with some age on it.

I missed out on this last year as I was in my IPA/IIPA/APA (hoppy) phase and probably passed this over countless times.

Picked up a 4 pack a few days ago and in terms of price ($9.49 a 4 I believe) and availability, all I can say is, time to buy a case...
