    Shit, I checked my Whole Foods in Oxnard last night and there was none. Guess I'll check other spots soon.

    Yeah I loved it. Much better than Big Hairy Eyeball (at least in taste; name could be debatable).

    Almost finished the 6 pack I picked up mid week. Delicious!

    I'm with ya. It's hard to not think half of this beer's popularity is because it's really strong and pretty cheap. It's good - don't get me wrong - just nothing special imo. The substitute is way better

    I enjoy Brown Shugga but not as much as I enjoyed Sucks

    I actually have it on par with Sucks.

    I am a huge fan of Brown Shugga! It has become my favorite beer for the holiday season, and always look forward to it. Can't say it enough! (I'm a big fan of it's substitute, as well.)

    I never really made the barleywine/strong ale comparison until this season. I always felt it was more like a DIPA, too. This year, I get more of the sweetness in it. I'd compare it, slightly, to SN's Bigfoot. Just not as hopped up.

    Sucks was ridiculously enjoyable, but I agree with some that Brown Shugga narrowly beats it out (for me).

    Picked up two sixers of this last weekend. This is such a tasty, dangerous brew.

    I had a 2013 recently and it was really good. Made saving it that long worth while. Have one more and it might wait until next year. I love this beer both fresh and aged!

    This beer has become the seasonal release I most look forward to every year.

    It's all over in Yorktown, VA. I picked up a 6 pack the other night and I've had two over the last couple of days. It's one tasty beverage. Very, very nice but like others stated, it packs a punch.

    Keep an eye out for Undercover Investigation Shutdown come April, and the return of Olde Gnarlywine come March if you're looking for more normal/usual hoppy strong ales :slight_smile: I also love the dark and strong Hairy Eyeball out now. Cheers!
