This year's Devastation has the devastate level turned up to 11. Huge oak, massive bourbon aromatics, towering fruit forward hops, and a gigantic boozy backbone (from https://www.facebook.com/events/1881448088810704/?post_id=1884352958520217) Dry hopped with Citra and ringing in at 9.2% abv, Devastation attacks your taste and aroma receptors with hop flavors of mango and citrus plus an oak and vanilla component that stems from the barrel aging. The beast of Cherry St. is a smashing good time. (from https://www.facebook.com/breweryvivant/posts/pfbid02Yh9eKSjFArGkPmwpqPKc4JtsNJYTwfK6eHjGTWmhmHgYkhaA5qGPhyxqVcbMrKUql) 2017: 11.6% 2022: 9.2%
