Lake Erie Monster Imperial IPA

I've been waiting for this one. Saw it on the menu a month ago at their brewpub, but with many miles to go on a motorcycle trip, I couldn't bring myself to drink a high octane for lunch and instead went for some pub only brew since I knew I could get this at home. Not much on the nose, but a pretty heavy sweet flavor with lots of bitterness and some hop flavor. Sip this monster carefully. Nothing unpleasant with this monster encounter, I had just hoped for more hop flavor. Maybe my tastebuds are toast, since the bottle claims "huge hop flavor". Will have my favorite Hop Juice next to recalibrate and amend this post if I'm off. ID
