I shitlorded a whole bunch from the Qbin store. I would put on a disguise and go in and they would let me buy one 4 pack each of bloom and reve. I would then walk around the block, put on another disguise and successfully buy 2 more 4 packs.

About the forth trip in, they got wise to my game and banned me.

Jokes on them since they don't know how I really look because of all of the disguises.

And oh, I really enjoyed the Bloom and actually prefer it to the recent Ghost.

The Reve, well I think I will drink it to replace my morning coffee. Good stuff.

I liked the first batch of Reve. I think my palate has shifted, however, and now it tastes over roasted to me. I feel that way about a lot of coffee beers now, I guess.

Bloom is far and away the best beer Parish has made for my palate.

Your palate shifted in 4 months? You might should check into that.

Have you tried picking one up? People usually hand them to me or I use hand eye coordination to get one off the shelf.

I love coffee stouts/porters but have a pretty defined "too much roasted coffee" line of demarcation. Parade ground is way over roasted to me for instance... I find Reve to be perfectly balanced. It has a ton of coffee but the base can support it

It was happening anyway. Lost the taste for a number of coffee beers I've previously enjoyed. Probably inevitable that it happened with Reve.

Bloom is really good. I've had one Reve, and it was much better than I expected.

Get some. Get some of everything. Nothing brewed is worth shitlording for my palate.

I feel like Rêve is rêgressing. Agree with the over-roasted coffee thing and feel like the lactose comes through more on this batch, which I don't like.

Bloom is great and maybe my favorite Parish hoppy beer at this point.

A guy I'm friends with who really knows a lot about beer told me Bloom was just single hopped Envie

True. Reve is for nancies who like to add 3 sugars and vanilla creamer to their coffee.

There's not a nickel's worth of different between bloom and double hopped Envie. If you think there's more to it, I applaud you. You're that special guy, and you know it.
