    This batch of Supermassive averaged 2 years in barrel, so it's essentially Supermassive V.S.O.D. just not officially.

    Split a can of VSOR Select with a friend yesterday. Thought it was outstanding! Not boozy or overly sweet. Sensed notes of dark fruits, fig, and caramel flavors. Very enjoyable and a must try for all Rev fans!!

    Honestly think this may be one of my favorite Rev releases of all time.

    2x Supermassive and 1x each of the variants. Awesome, Rev! Thanks for all you do in the BA Coffee Stout world!

    Would've been in on a pack bundle with the chocolate bar and coffee if it had been the two variants in place of On&On Pt 3. Not that it isn't a great beer on its own right, but had my fill at release with a couple packs and this is about the coffee beers here. No complaints at all and more or less just saying!

    we are so spoiled to have excellent beer be available for what seems like an eternity, compared to releases from more highly regarded breweries nationally.

    Yep. Just ordered the Supermassive 4-pack (limit was still 4). Now the hardest part is making the trek out there and looking for parking. Anybody has any secret parking spots or are we all just meandering on the same side streets?

    If you're just popping in to pick up, I've never had an issue parking just south of the entrance for a few minutes with my hazards on. I usually Uber if I'm staying but otherwise yes, one of the residential streets east of Kedzie is your best bet.

    Try Irene Avenue two blocks south down Kedzie. One side of the street is pull in parking, not parallel parking, so there's loads of spots.

    Simplest trick is to park in the Berman Nissan lot half a block away. Go into the dealership and tell then you are interested in test driving a new car, fill out the paperwork, drive the car the half block to Rev, leave it in front and if it gets towed or ticketed it isn't your problem. Load the beer, drive back to the dealership and transfer your beer back into your car and then tell the dealer the car wasn't quite what you were looking for.

    Wish Amburana Supermassive Cafe Mocha Deth would've made it into cans, too! Not sure I can make the release to grab a pour but sounds awesome!

    Maybe, just maybe, somewhere there is a stovepipe can that is listening ….or maybe it will be Stooperamburana Stoopermassive Cafe Stoopermocha Stooperdeth.

    This was something Rev actively promoted in the post-curbside pickup COVID era. I don't think I've ever seen them say to stop doing it.

    Have any additional draft variants (besides the stovepipe goodies) been announced for Friday's release? I did a quick social media scouring but couldn't find any...

    I believe Amburana Supermassive Cafe Mocha Deth is the only one. It’s created on untappd.

    I guess it kinda undermines the whole "we wanted to get these crazy variants canned for you" point if you get there and there, are still a bunch of crazy tap-only variants...
