Sierra Nevada Narwhal

Got some today via HoistinBrews and the UPS guy !!!
Thank you man...Since NY state got shut out glad to receive this one .......

 

is it out yet?

 

I hope so or I purchased a fake beer pack from a store I trust...

 

Enjoying my 2nd 4pk this week,so decent at the $10 price tag.

 

im waiting for this to hit chicago

 

This is most definitely a badass beer that'll be penalized for the low degree of difficulty involved in obtaining it. I'm gonna drink and cellar the hell outta this stuff. $8.99 at my local shop...

 

Word. Or Old Rasputin needs to be knocked down 10 points. That's one of the most overrated beers on here IMO and the fact that Narwhal is so similar but executed so much better (I think "liquid silk" is dead on) and rated 6 points lower is crazy.

 

I have to respectfully disagree (I am having my first Narwahl as I type this) and I agree it is a solid RIS but it is not at Old Raspy's level.

 

I can't wait for this to hit the shelves. Big fan of SN.

 

Really digging SN's recent labels. Very excited for this one to come out! I can't wait to stock up on it!

 

I might have to crack open an Old Ras tonight and revisit it. I had my 2nd Narwhal last night, and still think it's fantastic. It is like liquid silk. Creamy mouthfeel on it, hits everything I want in a stout. I just don't have many O.R.'s set back in my cellar. First world beer problems I know.

I'll report back tonight with my opinion.

 

I was surprised that that we ran out of The Dissident as quickly as we did. I still see The Stoic around town. And The Abyss usually lasts 6 months.

 

Yeah I was sad about that, I didn't get a chance to snag a bottle of The Dissident. And yeah I know what you mean, the Kelly's by my house still has over a case of The Stoic.

 

I got one and am regretting not picking up another... oh well. We have Chainbreaker and Odell's Deconstruction on tap in town now. I can't complain too much.

 

Yeah, I almost saved the bottle because it's very cool. The beer is really good, too, and I bet it'd be great after 6-12 months to smooth out the bitterness.

 

I thought this was supposed to be of similar production volume of hoptimum? I pose that question because hoptimum still sits on the shelves and I've yet to see narwhal ANYWHERE! What gives?!

 

To the best of my knowledge, I don't think this has made it to chicago yet. At least, every place I go says they should be getting soon (one of these days).

 

I had to go to 3 stores on last Friday to get a 4 pack. First two had gone through all of em in 2 days.

Well worth It though, awesome stout!

 

Solid beer. Worth the pickup.

 

There was a ton at Binny's Lincoln Park yesterday evening.
