    Can’t wait to see all the complaints about the “fight club” emails and people not knowing how many points it takes when Berry Ryeway comes out. :grin:

    On a more serious note, I had my first can of Supermassive Friday night and it blew me away. I wasn’t a fan of the draft version last year (and also did f care for the recent version of Cafe Deth), but this seemed liked a perfect BA coffee stout. I didn’t find the coffee to be too much, probably because of how well the barrel showed. I guess I was dumb to share so much of my allotment with friends and only leave 3 cans for myself.

    Had my first can of Supermassive yday night and this is about BA Coffee Stout perfection for me. As a coffee lover this was a great balance of coffee to barrel. Awesome sipper for a night cap. Hope this becomes a regular in the DWs rotation.

    Soooo....

    They are both excellent, but I give the nod to super massive.

    ATM KBS Expresso has little to no barrel. The coffee is top tier though, with big chocolate notes. Not sure who founder’s uses, but damn is that good coffee, and I personally like this slightly more than DM.

    Super massive is the perfect blend of barrel, stout, and coffee. DM does an excellent job per usual. Wish Chicago breweries would use them more often over certain other roasters *cough* Tug Boat *cough*. Mouthfeel is also top notch, and At this point Rev has perfected this beer.

    *All my opinions of course, KBS Expresso was NOT stored properly since I bought it December. I am also a little hungover*

    I bought a 4-pack of the mango hero and freedom of expression on Friday. Only garnered
    me 24 points toward STATUS. Rev really needs to start charging me more for these beers!

    Mango Hero might be my favorite of Rev’s hazies to date. I’m typically not a fan of them, but really enjoying this one.

    Yeh, I loved it. Mango which tends to be sweet, but alongside a little drier feel but still NE style, was great. I love mango but can't remember a beer with mango in it that I really enjoyed. Until now. Glad I have 3 more!

    I’ve given up on getting skip the line this year, although, does it really matter if they keep doing curbside pickup?

    The pre-order opportunity is nice depending on how fast the regular sales go

    I was really surprised by the Deep Woods Mystery bag I got today; it was Supermassive Cafe Deth and Code Switch!

    This is the first time I didn't get an old Deth Star, which I figured would come with every bag, and I certainly didn't expect to get one that they JUST released.

    Plus, instead of leather coasters I'll never use, they included a Straight Jacket shirt!

    As long as they keep doing this, I'll keep buying them.

    I believe Doug said they were, but that it was a much smaller group, e.g. the top couple hundred rewards accounts. Curious what the level is.
