Of course, that is a beer that might improve with a little age so the heat dissipates a little.  |
I should've edited that by saying
"managed" to polish off

Honestly, once I'd finished the first three, my palate was ready to change it up. But alas, it had grown late in the night and I had no other beer (for some reason). I took a 30 minute break, became re-engaged in my web duties, got frustrated with my project, and got an impulsive hankerin' once again. The Sculpin Habanero was then revisited and eventually finished off.
Definitely a specialty beer to say the least. This was my first time trying it so I took note of the "heat may vary" message on the bottle and assumed other years (or current batches) could taste different.
Aside from that, I'm hoping to get my hands on just one bottle of Founder's KBS. There was only a few places around here that managed to get a case based on high sales. Even so, some sellers hoarded it for themselves and... there you go. :-/
