    I bet I have purchased over two cases in the last month and it will be in my holiday rotation. Love it and it is the easiest almost 10% ABV on the universe. Yes Sucks is amazing also. Love Lagunitas!

    Never been a fan of Lagunitas. Poorly executed beers with overly confident packaging/advertising.

    I was drinking a this one goes to 11 and I was thinking it tasted very similar to brownshugga l. I opens brown shugga and compared them side by side And they tasted almost the same but the this one goes to eleven was sweeter and less boozy

    Benn all over Chicago around the end of October, then the supply was hit or miss in some places. Still, a great find.

    Had one tonight and thought it was excellent. Similar to Midnight Sun's CoHoHo, but a bit stronger and a little sweeter.

    It is every where here in wisconsin. I agree with others that it is a 1 or 2 beers at a time. It grew on me the more I drank. I have to say that I actually expected it to be a bit sweeter with a name like Brown Shugga. I fot a slight sweetness with a lot of piney earthy hop.

    First time I had it was back in '05 or so, and I wasn't too big on it then. I thought it was too sweet and sugary. Had it for the first time since then about a month ago, and while I still wasn't all that impressed with the flavor profile, I had great respect for the execution they pulled off on such a unique, high ABV beer. It's definitely a beer I'll buy at least once a year.

    Lots of it around here in SW Pennsylvania. Was really disappointed, unfortunately.

    Ive been able to get it in six packs for at least 6 weeks. It was bottled in the beginning of October according to the Julian date on the neck. In other news, it kicks ass. Smoothest damn fresh Barleywine I've ever had. It's a bit dangerous I must admit.
