I think their Old Rasputin is excellent. And their āLa Merleā Saison is impressive, too.

Given the context of your question, I donāt think Iāve ever had an āolderā one, as you use that term. However, over XMas, my dad did open a 2022 and a 2023 for me ā they were great, and thatās exactly my sweet spot for them ā about 2 to 3 years. Most of these BBAS develop a horehound candy type of sweetness with moderate age, and I donāt really like that. Then, after that, they develop strong wet cement mineral tones, and I like that even less. After 2 or 3 years, the harsh edge of its youth has been softened, but it still retains a somewhat bitter taste profile, and thatās the spot I like 'em at.
That John Courage ages magnificently. IMO, Bourbon County ages better than the Bellās offerings.
Need the hiveās assistance here. SN Narwhal on draught here and listed as Imperial Double Stout.
This 500 ml pour $18 usd tonight with plunging dollar.
This tastes much more powerful than the bargain can of Narwhal Iād drink in my PNW days. Is this the same beer?
Iād think it has to be the same beer? Using double and imperial is just redundant. Great beer but that priceā¦That said a pint of Narwhal is quite a pour!

Cicerone saw my post above and informed me Narwhal listed as Imperial/Doble Stout so as to not be redundant.
Can you expand?
I think they are commonly used interchangeably these days although I could also make an argument that they are two related but different styles.
Generally Imperial being drier with some IBU and double being modern US sweeter pastry with possible adjuncts ect.
Flying both flags seems odd though?
Thereās a language barrier still but I think cicerone added the / (virgule?) to his electronic description board meaning either adjective describes that Stout.
At $18/pint Iām not rerunning last night!
Damn good though.

Just got delivery of 12 Dark Lager from my very hop forward local producer Pok Ta Pok.
Looking forward to lunch.
This is absolutely disgusting. IMO, there is nothing positive about this, and it sets back brewing culture. This is primarily a Columbia Sportsware trying to edgy thing, but itās still disgusting.

Agree! Iām not surprised by Columbiaās involvement, but am very befuddled by Breaksideās.
There is a bourbon barrel aged version as well. Maybe you had that.
