    Wow. Seems like a lot of fuss over nothing.

    They also made it on WBZ Thursday night.

    I'm a Beer Advocate subscriber, but honestly, I'm not sure I'll renew, if any of us posted what she did on the forums the message would get nuked and we'd be probably put in time out. But she is on the staff and the wife of one of the founders so its 'ok'.

    Yes she gets to have an opinion, but her post was an outright attack.

    I think anything that spreads teh term "Tramp Stamp" more brodaly, thereby perhaps reducing the incidence of such stamps, is not a bad thing, in and of itself.

    The important question, though, is if the beer is any good. PLease send a 12-pack of each style to me, adn I will be happy to perform the needed testing.

    Yes, but you'll need to pick up your own next time you are in town.

    Tried it, not a fan. Not smooth at all compared to Double. Triple gets rid of everything I like about Double just to bump the alcohol percent a little bit. Meh.

    My bad. Didn't read closely. I've only had the double.

    Always like the Bar Harbor Real Ale(when over there)...but local store had some of Otter Creek's Oktoberfest ~three weeks ago...apparently the truck hasn't returned(yearly surplus given name...y/n?)...thought it was nice. Have seen but haven't tried Baxter canned yet...will.

    Table Wine(white):
    Local supermarket had Berlinger PinotGrigio...~$5+.. = but pretty good for a general-purpose...

    Well, it's not going to be quite as smooth as the double bag, which IMHO is perhsps the smoothest high alcohol beer out there), but for a 9+%'er....its quite smooth. I think you can taste a dogfish 90 min....and really tell its high alcohol...not so much for the triple.

    How about the Founder's Centennial IPA, Steve? There is another pretty smooth 7.2% beer for ya. My local store had their regular ipa I think 5.5 in growlers. Thst was quite good....my wife even enjoyed a couple.
