IBU-60
ABV-13.2%, a step down from the 13.5% Reunion Ale statmetrix

Overall impression-stunning concoction
Ymm, Beer rating-top shelf cat 3; I agree with the beeradvocate 96 (world class) and Untappd 4.44 (don’t get many 4.5s on Untappd); TBH, at probably $20+ for the bottle, I’d still take a Hardywood $15 warehouse special and/or a 4 pack of high ABV stubbies from RVA, too.
