    Careful with deviation, IMO it has passed its peak and is starting go downhill. It is now over 4 years old and at sour fest this year it seemed to be losing its overall sour goodness and started to pick up apple flavors and other off flavors. Just my opinion but, it is nothing to what it was a couple years ago. If you have bottles I would suggest drinking them now...but it is still a great rare beer, just past its peak.

    I've never had gotten the chance to try it. I missed sour fest, I've gotta try it at least once, even if it's not what it once was.

    I hope they add North Sound Creepy Monkey, which is a 12% double version of Goosetown Brown aged in three types of whisky barrels. I tried it recently, and it was outstanding. The BB Imperial Porter on tap last year was quite good too.

    That is a great beer. Had a small sample of it at Wurst Place.

    I found it a little too hot, and I'm usually a big fan of North Sound's stuff. It was (and may still be) on tap at Mutiny Hall.

    I tried the HUB's army of darkness at the Burgundian back in the spring and I was absolutely blown away by this beer.

    I would be all over that Ferocious Five as I am amazed by this beer.

    There were no XXII bottles, just kegs. They had an issue with the chocolate not blending properly and leaving a buttery foam appearance in the beer. Quality control said no go releasing it.

    With that said, I don't think much of it was kegged either.

    There were bottles. Just a very, very limited amount of them.

    This has been on tap several times around Portland and bend. I think the QC issues weren't apparent in the kegs so this is where most of it ended up as.

    This is good to know, I have been looking for a bottle for a while now. I would be willing to trade a good amount of rarer stuff for one if anyone knows someone!
