    I picked my beer up Thursday & had a PACKED weekend so I never got to try It Must Be A Camel. Still shows on tap, I'm praying it's still on when they reopen on Wednesday!!

    VSOJ is incredible as well. Im cracking a coconut Deth this evening to see how it is.

    I think that so far the VSOJ is my favorite of this Rev release; still need to open up a Cherry VSOJ stovepipe... Coconut Deth batch one is far superior to this batch for my tastes of course. Batch 2 is still delicious no doubt. I drank a lot of batch 1 Coconut Deth; somewhere between 16 to 20 cans; I'm calling this a "GuyFawkes load" of batch 1 Coconut Deth. It's definitely not a slight to say that batch one is better than batch 2 because it was a big reputation to live up to. Now I am just rambling! Ill go back to sipping on this Revolution barrel aged nectar...

    Are you sure you thought this term through in relation to the action proceeding it?

    Variants still pouring. Was told Supermassive Coconut has got to be close to the end and kicking soon but got a pour to go alongside the Camel.

    I love that Chicago don't play that stout season bullshit.

    They even sell a barrel aged beer themed summer hat. Doubling down on that shit.

    I've heard that the first step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem.

    Looks like he only needs 3 more 4 packs of Rev points to get his name on a reserved bar stool at the taproom!

    Stopped by the taproom yesterday to pick up my pathetic single 4-pack of VSOJ (I'm getting terrible about drinking my BA stuff). Really enjoyed supermassive coconut, exactly what I'm looking for in a coconut beer. Also had a pour of It Must Be a Camel which I thought was (unsurprisingly) also very good, nice and balanced with a little smokiness that I enjoyed. Glad neither of these were stovepipes or I'd have been forced into some unfortunate choices...

    Ok, so Supermassive Coconut Deth to make it's full-time debut as part of the lineup next year? :grin:

    Would agree with the consensus on Coconut Deth. Solid but it’s really obvious that the coconut is just lacking.

    VSOJ-solid but not my favorite from the last few vintages. Reminds me more of regular SJ from 2021. Or whatever year vsoj was blended in to the batch.

    Doug mentioned that CZ Dark Lager is coming back this fall as well as Baphomet and Black IPA. Super excited for Pragueress to come back, it was a hit with me last year.

    I know the chatter here was all about the Supermassive Coconut, but I'm CRUSHED to see It Must Be A Camel is gone.

    This was world-class. Caramel & wood up front with red berry & pleasing booze notes on the finish; cream soda crept in as it warmed.

    R.I.P. to a real one.

    Rock on. Agreed about Pragueress, and Baphomet is one of my favorites.

    Had my last can of Dread & Breakfast. The flavors may have dulled a bit but still drinking like a champ imo. Has been one of my favorite DW releases over the last few years. Hope Rev are able to recreate this again in the future at some point or at least be similarly inspired.
