    My Troll speak has fallen off over the years but I'll give it a shot.
    Okay...
    Now I could be wrong but I think he's saying "I like to increase my post count without adding relevant information. Please respond so I can continue adding erroneous verbiage to this discussion."
    I think I may have missed some words and the grammar may be off.

    I haven't had KS, but I will echo that Maharaja is quite malty and is quite bad as a result.

    Maharaja and Knuckle Sandwich are too balanced malty for me.
    But I'd take Knuckle Sandwich over Maharaja any day.

    How do you even respond to this. A beer is "bad" because it's malty. Wow.

    The bottom line is Maharaja has been a world class beer for years now. I do believe it has changed a bit over the past few years, but it's still a fabulous DIPA. Is it sweeter than some other DIPAs? Sure, but that doesn't make it bad (see Hopslam for reference).

    I had a KS a few years back and thought it was good, but not great.

    How do you even respond to this? A beer is "world class" because some guy(s) on the internet called it world class. Wow.

    I had a Maharaja about a week after it was bottled and was super stoked and that was my 1st reaction. HOLY Malt bat man! KS is much more balanced and a bit brighter vs. thicker and pineier. (sp?)

    Cheers!

    No, it's world class because over 1600 people have rated it at a 93/100 and even the originators of this site have rated it 95/100 (world class). So that would mean my opinion (and many, many others) is substantiated and yours is not.

    Fairly simple really, I hope you can grasp it.

    Read: that describes what I said exactly, yet you started with "No."

    I'd agree that Knuckle Sandwich is the better of the 2, but Maharaja is a solid beer in its own right. They're two of the only malty DIPAs that I like, but KS is more balanced where Maharaja is a little sweeter and boozier. Maharaja's not the worst substitute if you live anywhere outside of where KS is available.

    So rather than actually try to provide any factual information to back up your totally silly opinion, all you have to say is I read and responded to your post incorrectly? Awesome.
