    Yeah also skeptical of untapped. Though on the other hand I really liked that collab Horus did with Finback (hawk and whale or whatever it was called). But then again finback have a stronger stout track record to begin with...

    I found Snowbirds, Astro Travellin, and Snowbirds 2 to all be very similar and I suspect this will be more of the same. I'm headed there in 20 minutes or so and will do some field reporting.

    Hows Mo+Mo stack up against the other dual hop releases? I missed this when it dropped in December.

    Haven't tried it yet but just as an FYI, the one in December was regular I think. This one is DDH.

    A lot of coconut, sweet but not off-puttingly so, not quite as much body as I would've expected in a 16% stout (but in a good way)

    Mosaic Motueka is tasting good. It's double mosaic with a bit more lemon/lime.

    Double Drupe seemed to have kicked. I don’t see it on the board. Wanted to try it before buying a bottle :confused:

    I was going to do that but I just yolo'd and bought it cause I really had to get back to the office. Even if Other Half Stouts are hit and miss, if Kyle is involved in a stout its almost certain to be awesome.

    Real glad I picked up 2 bottles. Double Droupe has all the coconut flavor like Snowbirds without that sugar rush. It’s still sweet but that’s to be expected with a 16% stout. Nice pecan notes on the back end too.

    What’s with the headdress on his logo? Is he Native American?

    30 cases left as of 7PM last night. I’d have to assume there is still some left at opening today.

    Got there at 7 last night and proceeded to use the facilities and wash my hands (like a civilized human being). My buddy was doing the same and went to use the hand dryer. I warned him of it's absolute power and skin chafing capacity. I cracked up when he opened his backpack and took out his sweatshirt to dry off his hands.

    The blackberry Mmm fruit is superb. I didn't try any of the others to compare it to, but man that's a tasty beverage.
