Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

Pours a dark orange with a tan ring of a head, sticky, chunky lacing. Aroma is sweet, sweet citrusy and fruity hops with buttery caramely malts and alcohol. A slight roasty note underneath it all. Flavour is huge. Drinks like a liqueur, molte eller plommer. Very sweet, sticky. A roasty caramel sweetness dominates the flavour, with loads and loads of juicy fruity hops struggling to balance it out. Doesn’t quite make it, as this is one sugary, sirupy brew to sip. Finishes with a solid alcohol warmth. Body is medium to thick, carbonation is sparse yet noticable. This is a massive brew, like nothing I’ve ever had before, the sweetness just makes it quite hard to drink. Glad I shared this.

This is just one of those beers where you look for greatness but end up finding something you have never experienced before. A ruby copper appearance gives way to a heavy alcohol, wet hop smell that could make one cough if unsuspecting. A honey hop flavor like the Hopslam fills the mouth with a oily feel and warmth. While slightly off for thickness with the body, I finished the glass amazed by the strength of beer and the unique flavor. CP

bottle, 02/09, godlen orange with slight foam ring, aroma has a lot of fruit, white sugar and alcohol, this is a very nice dessert wine or grappa almost, fine finish

This IPA is great. Pours golden with a small amount of head. Nose was honey, hops, and alcohol. Taste was almost like mead. Honey, caramel, and sweet sweet barley. 20% alcohol was well hidden in the almost oily mouthfeel of the beer. It is unlike any IPA i’ve ever had. Very good!

This was a very fine looking IPA. It was decently translucent with a nice golden hue - it almost looked like white wine. It also had a decently nice head as well but it fell quickly. It had a very nice scent and hops - oh, and alcohol. There was also a small bit of sweetness and a bouquet of flowers. At first taste, it actually reminded me quite a bit of white wine but with a little bit more bite from the alcohol. There was also a nice spice from the barley but also a hint of sweetness - strange for a beer this strong. The texture was very nice for this beer as well. It was very smooth and the flow reminded me of a spirit after the initial taste. The flow was very nice and all of this counteracts with the kick in the ass it gives you at the end.

2009-18%ABV, not evident. This is the Sauterne of beers. Hints of caramel, marzipan, raisins. Starting drinking ice cold and then warmed up (very complex both ways). Have a few that I would like to age out over the years 2, 4, 6, etc.

12 oz bottle. Pours a nice copper color with a nice lite orange head. The aroma is very sweet with hops. Taste is a sweet bitter. The malts overpower the hops. Finishes with a bitter aftertaste,

copper/ amber pour with a two finger tan head with a green tinge. warming aroma with no hint of hops, sweet fig taste.this was fun to try but i was a little let down with the lack of hops aroma and taste>
