Looks similar to The Destroyer of Worlds, which I bottled last weekend and should be drinking soon...only difference being that I didn't go crazy with the bittering hops like you did. I figured, hops are crazy expensive right now, and I'd much rather hit it with a simple, large Galena addition to get my IBU's up above 100, then back-load (and mash-hop) the sumbitch with tons of flavor/aroma additions. It's intensely hoppy, and the Willamette gave it a really nice spicy/cedary character. So, at the end of the day, do you think it was worth it to front-load with all those bittering hops? Is the "humans can only perceive up to 100 IBU's" thing debunked?

I'm no scientist, so I'm not about to claim that I've debunked the "humans can only percieve up to 100 IBU's" thing, but I have brewed and consumed a lot of hoppy beers. My APA is 70, my amber is 65, my IPA is 120 and this a good deal hoppier than anything I've ever brewed before. I stocked up on hops from AHS before prices went up. I had planned on brewing this beer for quite sometime. It was absolutely worth it to me. I really enjoy over-the-top hoppy beers and this is certainly fits the bill. This beer certainly isn't for everyone, as SWMBO will gladly attest to.

Yeah, I stocked up like crazy with hopsdirect before the hike...got my stuff for $11/lb., and you know what their "pounds" look like: somehow there are 28oz in a "Puterbaugh Pound". Anyway, even though I got 'em for cheap, it'll still cost me more when I eventually need to restock, so I took it a little easy. I mean, I still used 5 or 6 oz of hops in the bastard...but I think my IBU's were "only" around 140.
