Rogue XS Old Crustacean

XS Old Crustacean is a delicious, BIG, American barleywine. I shared a bottle aged three years with Alex over pecan pie. The pairing was great and the beer was better than the dessert. It combines loads of caramel with tons of hops. The bottle boasts of 110 IBU. I read once that our taste buds cannot distinguish more IBU after 100. The high price reduces my purchases.
