hope that helps

Close Chip
6 = 7.5%
8 = 9.2%
10 = 11.3%
Yes not on the same level as DFH IPAs but a great analogy.
60 minute = 6%
90 - 9%
120 - 18% (use to be 21%)
Many would debate the 90 minute being the best, but for me I like the 120 minute. The 21% ABV 120 minute boasted a lot of flavor, complexity and hit's very hard. A really winner for me.

There are sometimes things we just drink on faith, lol. I take great pains to read about stuff I want to
know about and have an interest in, but when I saw this circle with a number in it, and you are likely right,
I only saw the 10, and just fabricated the other numbers, I just put that with my lack of further funds
and passed on the whole lot.
Just drank a Golden Monkey and I was pretty surprised, an abundance of hard-to-pinpoint flavors
and it was pretty damn good. Smoked a Ramonitas with it and prepared it for a blog entry.

I agree Brad, I'm more into the flavor and drinking it then knowing extensively about the processes in making it.
Go with the 10, it will probably blow your mind. The 8 is no slouch either but the 6 isn't worth the time or money, IMHO.
