OscarV Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Doom came to Chicago last week. I was able to nab a bottle before stock seemed to all but disappear. I haven't opened it. It's such a big bottle, I think I need people around to share it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 I haven't seen a bottle but since it is part of the backstage series, I presume that it is a 22 oz. bottle.Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWF Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Big bottle?What size?It's a full 750ml, or 1 pint, 9.4oz. 25.4oz I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegoz Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I've been working my way through a lot of the singles that I purchased in Michigan a month ago. Short's and Greenbush make a lot of great beers; very excited for the latter to expand distribution to Chicagoland soon. Also loving on the Nugget Nectar and Perpetual IPA from Troeg's that I just traded for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPPSmoker Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I came across some bottles of Doom on Wednesday when I went looking for (and found) some ECBP. I cracked it open last night after smoking some brisket and pulled pork. I found my bottle of Doom to be a big disappointment.Allow me to first say that I love Founder's All Day IPA so I was very much looking for to drinking it. What I drank was a very slightly altered Founder's All Day IPA. It was so little changed from a regular Founder's All Day IPA that if you presented it to me without telling me what it was, I would have guessed All Day IPA and not thought twice about it. And the faint bourbon taste I could pick up didn't mesh well with the lemon and grassy flavor of the IPA.I would like to add that I first drank this immediately after eating my brisket and pulled pork. My meal could very well have affected my taste. However, I did finish off the bottle about an hour later and I did not notice a difference. My take on this is that not all beer should be aged in bourbon barrels. I'll be sticking to KBS and New Holland's Dragon Milk.I would like to hear what other people think about this beer. It was the first time I was disappointed with a Founders product. It was OK but it didn't meet my high expectations. I'm in no hurry to drink my other bottle and I'll probably trade it.

DPPSmoker Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Interesting, isn't it Double Trouble aged in bourbon barrels? I'm surprised at your comparison to All Day IPA.Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighInTheMtns Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 A Goose Island IPA, in the DFW airport. Not nearly as cool as drinking tons of great bourbon in the gazebo, but still a pretty enjoyable beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&MLiquorsEric Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have never had Double Trouble so I can't speak to that. But I am very well acquainted with Founder's All Day IPA.All Day IPA abv 4.9% and Double Trouble 9.4%. Doom is double trouble aged in Bourbon Barrels. I never enjoyed Burton Baton from DFH and this looks to be similar. I would try it but wont seek it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegoz Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Last night I drank all three Bell's Eccentric Ales that I picked up last month -- a 2008, a 2005 and a 2004. I found that the older they were, the better. Not sure how much was a consequence of age, and how much was a matter of the actual recipe used. 2004 was especially nice, like a licorice whip dipped in chocolate.

Special Reserve Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have never had Double Trouble so I can't speak to that. But I am very well acquainted with Founder's All Day IPA.It will be released soon. It's a lot like Hopslam, perhaps as good or better, but certainly not as popular yet.

Yeti Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Pulled carpet up from the moment I walked in from work. Hardwood floors are nice, but eff all the effort. Unwinding with an Epic Brewing Big Bad Baptist Imperial Stout. Cocoa and coffee stout aged in bourbon barrels. 22oz. of delicious 11.4% goodness. Thanks, Jim!

unclebunk Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Had a pair of fabulous English ales last night: Timothy Taylor's Pale Ale and Wells Bombardier Ale (an ESB). Compared to most American pale ales and IPA's, these are rather tame, as their flavors and aromas are quite subtle but very rewarding nonetheless. Can't wait for my trip to England in June to load up on cask ales. Tonight though I'll be hitting the Belgian ales after a spin to Binny's.
