I gotta say, guys (and gals)…I found a bottle of this at a pizza/brew pub in DC, and I couldn’t believe what I was tasting. Velvety smooth imperial stout, combined with nice honey notes and gesho. My buddy is also a craft beer enthusiast, and he agreed it was simply amazing. I understand this beer debuted at Savor last year? Any word on if they plan on a re-release?
i loved this beer when i had it. it’s my understanding that it will/has been released again.
I saw some in the bottle shop a couple of months ago, but not since. Maybe soon?
I am heading down to my LHBC meeting at Dogfish Head tonight. I want to pick up another bottle of this very fine brew.
Great brew! 8)
I have a bottle in my fridge that I picked up in CT around Christmas time. May have to crack it open this weekend.
is that bitches or boobies?! ;D
Love 'em both! ;D
I have a bottle in my fridge right now that will be cracked in the near future. Found it for $35 at that restaurant, and thought it was worth it. Paid about the same for each bottle that I bought on eBay recently. I gave the other to my father for a birthday gift!
Man, I’d love to see this beer re-released. It’s just too good to not have a regular production run. I’d love to have this on cask, as well!
I’m gonna bump this one to the top. I did not find any when it was first released and now our area is getting it in bottles. I happened upon it on draft the other night and found it dry, bone dry in fact. Just didn’t quite work for me, but the bottles might prove different. I know people who got it raved about this when it first came out, but I wonder if that was partly based on hype or if that original beer was that much better.
Or I am just getting old and picky? :o
Yes, and no more than ever!

Sometimes I miss living on the East Coast. No DFH beers here. 
I have a bottle (that I drank) saved from batch 1 when it first came out. I just traded for a bottle of the latest batch (batch 3? 2012?). I find it to be a very different and interesting stout that’s well worth tasting. I honestly bought the first bottle because of the artwork and notoriety (from the TV show), but it’s certainly a worthy beer. I think this will be my fourth bottle I’ve traded for.
However, at the price, if you’re not really into imperial stouts and/or the novelty of the brew, it’s pretty expensive (I think I’m trading at about $15 a bottle for it, close to what it was going for in 2010/11).
Obviously most everything from DFH is great though. I’ve had a hard time finding anything from them that wasn’t delicious.
I just realized I still have this bottle in my fridge. Original release I believe and hard as hell to find ( the liquor store had them in the back and you had to ask specifically for it).
Now I can get it off the shelf locally.
I had a couple of bottles last year and I didn’t find it to be bone dry. Haven’t tried this years release yet so can’t comment, but you’ve peaked my interest. I’ll pick up a bottle at my next club meeting at the brewpub in Rehoboth, then I’ll try to give you feedback on this.
Even better if you run across it on draft. I just found it overly dry.
Had a bottle over the weekend. Thought it was pretty darn good! Nice roast flavor, no astringency, malty backbone. Medium-full bodied. Chocolate/coffee notes.
Great beer, I’m finding that while Im lukewarm on their standard/flagship beers, their special releases simply rock, and are worth the money on special occasions.
Any recipes for it?
