I have not had it.

First time at Corporate Brew and Draft and I am impressed.

I'd be interested in getting my hands on a bottle or two of that, if B and others say it's worth it.

F&2BD: Ballast Point Dorado during lunch.

First time having. Very good, but not amongst my favorite DIPAs.

BMoney hasn't had it yet but already says it's a "great representation of the style. Will buy (er.. drink) again."

I've only tasted it straight from the brite tank, so it was very cold, and hard to tell much about it. Further research is necessary.

Kim Jong isn't too busy today apparently.

Corporate has quickly become my favorite place to drink beer in BR. Great selection and 5 oz pours means I can try a few beers and drive home safely afterwards.

Not to be Debbie Downer, but I just found out that my childhood/high school best friend is sick and near the end. I needed a beer.

I thought it was pretty good.

It doesn't have a ton of the roasted/burnt character you get in some russian imperials (old rasputin), but there is a lot of dark fruit, chocolate, and coffee going on in there.

The bottle says it's 10% ABV, but it's not hot at all and was surprisingly easy to drink.

Depending on the price point I'll pick up a bottle or two and store them away for a vertical at some point.

Are you at the taproom? Do you find that there is a bit of funk in that beer?

Here...it's not quite as fresh as it was on GR Day...but I'm not getting much funkiness, pretty clean

I am getting a little more sweetness than I remember though

ETA: KJI, did you get the funkiness last time you were here?
