FBD: Ghost
Actually started off with a blind taste test. Had a fourth of Ghost Batch 5 and Double Jack dated 3/30 each poured into a separate glass.
Liked the smell of Ghost more. It has a more danky, and also sweeter smell. I figured this was going to be the case.
As for the taste, couldn't tell which I liked more. I could easily tell which was which, though. Ghost had that sweet, smooth taste. Double Jack was not as sweet, and had more of a bite to it. I guess that'll happen when it's a 8% ABV vs 9.5%.
I honestly can't pick a favorite, as it would probably depend on my mood. Sometimes I want that smooth sweetness. Other times, I want a smooth DIPA like DJ that still has that kick at the end.
Conclusion: I win because I now have a Ghost in my hands and a 6 week old or so Double Jack to follow up with. Then, I'll have to swig a bit of Hop Delusion.
Parish Brewing also wins, for developing a world class beer, and so does Louisiana.

Damn. Sticky Hands won and it really wasn't even close. Even the aroma blew out ghost. Wow what a phenomenal beer.
Ghost came in 2nd. Ft said nose was better on ghost than sticky but sticky better overall.
Wise said nose and overall sticky wins.
Ninja vs unicorn frankly disappointed and came in a distant 3rd. Although a lot of hops on the backend it has a funk aroma and weak front.
