Colorado + Imperial Stout Recommendations

Well I can tell you that it smells fantastic! Not sure about the taste...since I dropped my case while taking it out of the car By some miracle, only 1 bottle broke. I still don't know know how only 1 breaks, but I'll take it. I did have a friend crack one open tonight, he said the yeast has faded dramatically and it's much richer after 2 years. Sounds promising.

 

Man, lame. Thank god only 1 man down. I just walked in after an indoor soccer game and a malty 9.5% sounds nice... but not 22 oz of it. I too will report back. Anyone go late and know if GD finished it all off tonight? I got there at like 5:06 and there were a few dudes for sure!

 

The guy I talked to when I picked up said they had 5 pallets to sell, and it sounded like they were down to the last pallet and it was about half gone...so maybe half a pallet left? Sounds like it went fast, and a very cool thing for GD to do.

 

This does sound promising. Since I'm not Belgian fan, the Belgian Yeti was my least favorite by a large margin, though I still couldn't say I disliked it exactly. And the Heaven Hill aged BY they had a couple anniversary parties ago was stunning, though the barrel obliterated the Belgian-ness of it.

If that Belgian yeast has let up some, a case at that price point just might be worth a trip down there.

 

Can anyone confirm that this did hit stores? The guy I spoke to on the phone at the brewery said they hadn't released it yet...

 

I can... bought one last week and literally just saw it again at Grapevine (Leetsdale and Monaco) yesterday. Great beer.

 

Sweet, thanks! {grabs car keys...}

 

I asked a guy at the brewery and he said that "it's in the barrels now, so 6 months".
Then less than a week later it was released at Grapevine, Mile High and Bull and Bush.

So either he's thinking of the next one in line, or he's just clueless.

But I bought a few, only opened one so far and I'm all about it. Especially for $7. I've bought way worse beers for more. I'm looking at you 35k.
