    Has this made its way into New York City yet? See a couple draft accounts on beermenus, but no bottles.

    As a devoted hop head and a fan of Founders for a long time I was way way disappointed by this one. The worst of both worlds. Boozey hot and gross hop bitter. I spent the whole bottle trading sips and jokes about how gross it is with the two friends I was tasting it with. I always hope and believe for the out of the box styles but I am not optimistic for the potential of barrel aged IPAs. Maybe barrel aged and then dry hopped?

    I'm a big fan of this beer, just picked up another 4-pack today (along with more Redankulous).

    I finished my last bottle last night. A few thoughts:
    - I loved Doom when fresh!
    - It really needs to be drank at room temperature (60-65ish). Cold out of the fridge it's a boozy mess. Barrel character pops out as it warms.
    - It's NOT aging well! My bottle last night wasn't nearly as good as the ones I drank 2 months ago. The stale hop character is becoming predominant, and the barrel character has begun to fade.
