Well I bought another EC and an Evan Williams so we'll see. After reading some reviews on the Fiftyfifty Eclipse some threw Goose Island BCS in the mix as a better alternative and also the Full Sail Black Gold. Unfortunately I can't find either of those anywhere near me. Time for an ISO. IMO and just my taste but there are Plenty of cigars that are far better than Opus for half the price. So with that said would there be that kind of alternative for the Eclipse? Im not big on beer in general but the Eclipse made me want more.
The reason you can't find Full Sail Black Gold is because it hasn't been released since 2011 I believe.
For alternative imperial stouts/strong stouts you can try:
The Abyss: Never personally had it but heard amazing things!
Founds KBS/CBS/Breakfast stout: Huge loving on here for both, just personally can't get here in WA because they wont distribute.
Rogue XS Imperial: Damn good, hard to find but comes in a cool refillable growler.
DFH WWS: Strong as balls, can taste the booze more than a lot of imperials. But overall it is a good one and relatively easy to find when in season.
GD Yeti: Tons of variations, haven't had a bad one yet. Oak Aged is fantastic!
Southern Tier: Makes tons of flavored ones, my personal favorite is their Creme Brule. One of my top 5 favorite beers personally.
