taste wise, I preferred 2013 to 2012 and I think the babypalates that complain it was too hot/the 2% abv boost was too much will come around in 6 months. i am curious to see where the reviews end up falling, but in the meantime I will drink Pugachev's cobra in the minority without a single fuck to spare.
I don't know exactly how strong 2012 was. Did they release alcoholyzer results for that one or are you just going off of the 2012 label?
Cicerone L4, cetrifuge palate emphasis, my bitter zones have been trained to part our residual sugars and do subjective ABV tests. srs tho I have no idea.
Well if someone sends me a bottle i will review it and give it a honest Midwest taste test it would also be my 1st review ........as I don't rate beers usually because it is so subjective to ones taste buds ..... but for this one I'm willing to give it a try and review it
