    Here's hoping Dominion in FC (my local) is one of the select accounts to get this. They're a big purveyor of things Ocelot.

    I'll add any growlers as well, preferably 32oz or 750ml.

    Really nice work. Amazingly fresh and pungent aroma, great balance of juiciness and bitterness, and a dry finish. For a beer that strong, there's very little alcohol heat until the last few sips when the glass is warmer (as am I).

    Seconded. Very well done.

    It's crazy drinkable for a 10% beer. I also didn't realize just how intense the flavor was until the Nugget Nectar i had afterwards tasted like a barely-hopped brown ale.

    Had a pint today. It was excellent. Will probably be back for more with growlers to fill.

    Talking Backwards is fantastic. Great job by the Pint/S&B team and Ocelot on this! Totally avoids being sweet and boozy and is all about hop flavor. Get out there and try this.

    Agreed, great beer, had a couple last nite, growlers filled, and the ABV is well hidden, color is great too, and awesome nose.

    Thanks everyone for your kind words. We're very pleased with how it came out. Ocelot did an incredible job.
