Weeeeeeeeeeeeelllll, let's see....
Only the best beer we've ever brewed.
Not to be disrespectful to `ol Gaius Plinius Secundus but we're calling this beer Slimey the Imposter--a Pliny the Elder clone from Russian River Brewing Co., Santa Rosa, California.
The recipe is by none other than Vinnie Cilurzo, Russian River Brewing Co's brewer and co-owner. It was recently published in Volume 33 No. 4 of Zymurgy.
We pretty much followed his recipe except for a few hop substitutions--but we tried to keep the same bitterness by adjusting quantities for the different hops.
This beer is off the charts taste-wise. Beersmith was telling me a calculated 237.3 IBU! Wow!
This is a great beer and I can't wait to try the real thing sometime soon at the brewpub to see how it compares.
Deeeeeeeelicious and the best party of every day!

Is that International Beer Units?
Yep. It sure is. Methinks calculated and measured I.B.U. values are a bit off. But, I don't know an easy way to measure it. Will have to research this.
