4-20-14 Surprising in a really cool way. Doesn't taste anywhere close to 9.4% and the initial hops lead to a really smooth sweet finish. Dig it

Enjoy by 4/20/14....very good IPA. Not 5 star but still good. Fairly smooth, some harshness, but doesn't detract from it overall. Lots of floral taste, some grapefruit. Could have more substance throughout but certainly not a thin body.

I'm kinda sick of IPAs in General and wish more brewers would put more focus on the imperial stouts, but this one definitely stood out. Quite good and would get again.

I had the enjoy be 2.14.14. It was the best IPA I ever had, by far. It's a double and has the power and sweetness you'd expect, but the hops are so forward and fresh. It's like a double punch that I think every DIPA goes for but that Stone perfected in this beer. It's a shame that it only comes in such a limited release, but that is also what allows it to be so great.

5th batch 2.14.14. Very similar comments to before but the hops seems more muted and resiny in this version. Seems to have a law of diminishing returns from the first batch which was amazing. It is a good ipa but not something I would go search from store to store to find. The past couple batches have been above average for an imperial ipa but not super special

Excellent. Hoppy but the bitterness is very smooth and drinkable. Big fan.
