Voodoo going hard after that Draai Laag demographic

If so, it's a bad attempt. Unless you're talking about the "if you don't like hot sauce" disclaimer, in which case I agree.

But ultimately, Voodoo makes great stouts and DL makes terrible sours. So I doubt it will fall in the "passable to diarrhea" range. But could certainly be more in the "okay to good in small amounts range" with the BRC3 beers (just one man's opinion I realize...but I liked those beers). I doubt it ends up a drain pour though, which is DL's specialty.

But I have to say....the need to use the disclaimer..........always a red flag for me.

jeeze I was just making a stupid joke based on the choice to use nontraditional ingredients. Killjoy.
 
Couldn't the vinegar from the hot sauce do some pretty funky things over time for the folks who would age that?

IDK about the science but it looks like the bottles say 'drink fresh'.

Edit: ...not that that means anything.

Are they first big Brewery to do a big stout in hot sauce barrels?

Founders put their All Day IPA into hot sauce barrels for some dumb ass reason. Was every bit as bad as you'd imagine. Might have been a taproom only though if you're talking bottles only.

EDIT: I also see you specified stout, so never mind.
 
Anyone have Ring of Fire Porter from Iron Hill back in the day? Much lower ABV (5.4%) & I believe it was aged on chips made from Tabasco barrels vs. inside the barrels themselves. They were notorious bottle bombs, though, & I hope this doesn't become the case with this mfka.
 
Shew wee is Hottin' Up burning up the ISO:FT forum over on Satan's Playground.

Errything from dinguses asking for Assassin for it to someone just looking for New Glarus fruit shelfies. What a time to be alive.

Founders also put KBS in those bliss hot sauce barrels for Black Party last year for some reason. I've had the all day IPA in bliss barrels and I would have a hard time believing Hotting Up is worse than that, but you never know.

All the reviews I read have people saying something to the tune of "I don't think this one's for me. 4.75." which makes me super pumped I don't have untappd.

Honestly, Hotting up and purple wax sour Assassin should go 1:1 all day.

I don't know if that's true (no sarcasm, I legitimately don't know), but I think we can both agree that there's a pretty wide gulf between Assassin and NG fruits.

IDGAF either way, honestly. Just found it to be humorous.

Agreed for sure on that. All 3 Purple Assassin bottles I've drank from were a drain pour, but people still try to trade it and for it. That's what I was getting at.
