Founders "Doom" (next backstage release) thoughts

It's amazing...it's closer to like a bourbon barleywine with some extra IPA hop bitterness. Read the reviews on it, used to be called hand of doom.

 

I'm excited. This and Looking Glass were the two Founders tap-only releases that I was hoping would make it to the Backstage Series.

 

$13 for a bomber of an IPA, Barrel aged or not, is not a reasonable price(IMO). I will try this on tap, but probably wont buy any for myself. I did enjoy looking glass though, so maybe I will be surprised. I have had other bourbon/whiskey barrel IPAs, and have not enjoyed them, so my personal expectations are low.

 

I've never had Hand of Doom, although I did manage to get in first on the reviews of Looking Glass. But the closest I've had to Doom is Burton Baton and a couple of other oak-aged IPAs and DIPAs, never bourbon. Looking forward to this one a lot.

 

I think this has been discussed a lot in the Doom thread under beer releases.

Summed up: Most peeps want Black Biscuit or CBS, and complain about Doom.

 

My thoughts. Why are people complaining so much about its release in the Doom thread. Bah bunch of yuppies.

 

Founders = overhyped

 

Not a fan of this beer or Looking Glass. I think Double Trouble is a solid beer but it is not one of my favorites. The dirty hop character does not work for me, the barrels do not improve upon this IMO.

I would definitely prefer Black Biscuit, hell I would prefer to see Black Rye again, but I am not upset by this release. I will probably let this one sit on the shelves, no real interest here.

 

Like Boltcutter. Really bringing the heat lately. Likely two backstage release busts in a row, Kbs ticket debacle and a pathetic showing at all mbg events that aren't in GR

 

Not rushing out for this one

 

This beer will suck.
Lets keep talking it down, everyone.

 

It is already the biggest bust of all time and it hasn't even been released. Founders cant win unless they release CBS for every beer. Personally I like variety, but then again I don't care about trading anymore.

 

I am looking forward to this! The only Backstage Series beer I didn't care for was FMB, so Founders is still batting .1000 for BA beers for me.

 

No thoughts till I try it.

 

Hand of Doom was rotten, tasted like bourbon barrel aged dirty socks.



(Don't read this - it is awesome. If I trick you into thinking it is bad then more for me

 

you ≠ supergenious

 

Batting .1000 huh? 1 out of 10?

 

Ha, nice catch.

 

Wait, what? The trend here is to say it sucks even though you have not tried it or actually read the good ratings it has got...
