    How'd you like the DRIPA? One of my favorite brews, no doubt.

    They just released a shipment of these here today and I had to pick one up and see what it's all about. The smell and taste certainly surprised me, the level and intensity of the whiskey characteristics was something I hadn't anticipated. I haven't had much experience with bourbon per se, but the smell and taste is very similar to that of Canadian Club in my opinion. The "dark sweetness" (I recall Canadian Club smelling and tasting of dark fruits, which I also get with this one) combined with obvious oak and wood flavors both remind me of Canadian Club. It's certainly boozy, but not hard alcohol boozy to where it detracts from the other flavors. So far I'm enjoying the experience and it's certainly different from what I expected, which is a good thing considering the price I paid for it, I didn't want it to be just another imperial stout.
