    Let this one warm. It gets much smoother near 65-70 degrees (room temp).

    They are probably waiting to see if Hoptimum will sell out before pulling it for Narwhal. The same thing is happening out here in SoCal.

    12 oz bottles will be a nice size on this.

    I figured the same thing and if that is the case, then that's shit. I'm not buying a DIPA that's at least 3 months old.

    Looks like I will have to go buy some Hoptimum now, just so I can get some "liquid silk"

    Good stuff. Scary drinkable. I almost wish it had a bit harsher edge so I didn't kid myself last week into thinking that "a couple more" was a good idea.

    I think you're obscenely incorrect, sir. Old Rasputin is heavy and rich with a creamy head & tastes of copper; Narwhal turned out to be flat with taste of malt and a weak head that quickly dissipated. I was disappointed with Narwhal to say the least

    Tried it last night and I was fairly impressed! Not the flavor profile I was expecting but SN has shown they can make an imperial stout with the best of them. I loved the aftertaste of it as well.

    Found some! Very good. Had it about 45-50 degrees and it was good. It packs a bit of a punch.

    Just found some in Columbus. First I've seen it around the usual bottle shops.

    Widely available in Cleveland. Landed 11/9 I believe.

    Top notch stuff at a very reasonable price ($9.99 4-pak)
