An IPA with zero IBUs. Bloody rubbish!

Haven’t opened one yet, but a collaboration with Trillium sounds good.

King AL​

Equilibrium Brewery
Collaboration with Toppling Goliath Brewing Co.
IPA - Imperial / Double

King AL uses a mashed-up grain bill from MC² and Toppling Goliath’s King Sue before introducing Equilibrium’s absolute biggest dry hop to date with an all Citra Incognito, Citra LUPOMAX, Citra Cryo, and Citra T-90 hop bill. Pouring a milky opaque yellow with aromas of mango sorbet and orange creamsicle, we get chewy saturated flavors of tropical smoothie, fresh squeezed navel orange juice, dank grass, fruit salad in syrup, and lime gummies with a thick and custard like creamsicle finish and a huge blast of EQjuice rainbow melon flavors. King AL is dangerously soft and smooth and may have you questioning the laws of physics, space, time or just how we got a melted orange creamsicle fruit bomb into the can.

Nose: little clementine farts
Taste: chewy dank citrus rainbow

A store by me seems to have them a few times a year.View attachment 1009701

I've been away from this thread for too long. About when I started drinking bourbon... LOL

I've had Blind Pig. It's on my Wall of Fame. But Pliny is still on my wish list. One of these days I'll take my fantasy trip to Russian River. It's very close to the top of my list of breweries to visit.

Is this some kind of joke? I can't imagine a craft brewer naming their brewery BMC...

For years I've been saying I'll drink almost any beer... Except for BMC beer. (Bud, Miller, Coors) Pretty common statement among other craft beer drinkers I know.

My wife has been told she can no longer buy these -

Because ever time I open the refrigerator and see this -

My heart rate goes up a little thinking I am seeing this -

That used to be my beer of choice - exactly 44 years ago!

Who bought Bourbon County Stout today?

I forgot to take a pic and I already put mine away. They jacked up the prices this year, so I didn't buy any of the variants. Not a $25 for a half liter bottle. Nope, the regular is just fine for me. Also like that they had 12 oz four packs (regular BCS only) for the first time that I'm aware of.

Bought one last year and I didn't really care for it.

I typically let it age for at least 6 mos to a year. I still have some in my closet from 2017 and every year after. It will mellow out and improve with age. Although this year with the 4 pack of 12s, I'll probably drink one at Christmas.

Best one I ever had was a 2013 coffee variant that I drank in 2019. I don't like stouts that are big coffee bombs. But the aging took off all the sharp edges.

Are you not a fan of most other big Imperial stouts?

Never had one before. Just wasn't my cup of tea!

Looks good, my friend. Have you compared this one to Salvatore? That's my favorite Doppelbock, and one of the beers that helped start my journey down the craft beer rabbit hole a long, long time ago.

Never tried that Paulaner. It's not available here in Iceland...

Interesting. It's the standard for doppelbock as far as I'm concerned. Thought it was available all over the world. Do you get other beers from Paulaner or other major German brewers?

3 Paulaner and a total of 50 German beer available at the national wine store.

This are the 3 doppelbock available.

Only got 2 bottles this year.
