it’s the alcohol. lots of (single) ipa have significantly higher hop bills than double and triple. the original gravity and yeast sets the ABV. many doubles are smoother in mouthfeel than singles, although run the risk of having a boozy aroma.

and bitterness is related to hop content, but specifically alpha-acid hop additions, so it can be controlled independently of the aroma hops.

secondary fermentation is common in many styles, other than ipa, and doesn’t typically have a huge influence on alcohol content, but rather allows flavors to mature, or become more pronounced. more yeast falls out of solution, for a clearer beer, and it can naturally carbonate.

some yeast strains will cause extra fermentation as time goes on, including when it’s bottled or aged in a cask, but that is not the case for most commercially available ipa.

and if you really want a smooth, drinkable, high alcohol beer, try finding a Baltic porter!

ah, right-o. carry on, then.

once you start to notice them, you’ll never stop seeing them everywhere.

this one is a magnetic nail, so it can be found more easily with a metal detector, which is pretty handy when there’s a foot or two of snow on the ground.

you’ll also see crosses, squares, and triangles carved out in stone, as well as the super common drill holes in concrete, which are typically only for temporary points.

I’ve found 100+ year old control points drilled into old stone walls, and they can still check within like ¼" of the new maps.

those bridges flipping upside down and the shapeshifting staircases were some next level platforming action back in the day! and that is also the song I go to most when going for sonic soundtracks. I jammed with a band for a while that played it, and also mystic cave zone.
