Wow - its been nearly 10 years since I originally posted this recipe. Gonna have to brew up a 10th Anniv batch this weekend! In truth, I have only brewed this half a dozen times because it is so expensive.

I had brewed this one probably 4.5 years ago now? It was my first experience with hopping in the keg, which caused massive problems with the dip tube.

I was cleaning out my keg fridge and forgotten I'd actually transferred to a small keg. This was 3 or 4 months ago.

So I tried it, and it still tasted pretty good. Lots of particulates, kinda resembling used engine oil.

But I really liked this one, I may have to try again as well.

wait... you found 4 year old Heavenly Scourge in a small keg? Wow. That could not have been very IPA ish. lol

Glad this recipe came up, I hadn't seen it but it looks good. Might have to add it to the list

Yeah, I said I tried it, not drank the rest.

It was way better than I thought it'd be. Yes, the hop presence was largely gone, but it seemed reminiscent of the original beer. Which has been 4.5 years since I had so . . .

Dryhopping today! Getting excited.

We've brewed this 3 times in the last 6 years or so and about to brew it again. We've consistently had great reviews - even from people who "hate hoppy beers". My favorite review so far is "it's kinda like Mothman but better and without the sh!tty aftertaste!"
