Play it again, Sam. The massive number of hop additions and whatever other strange alchemy Dogfish Head did to this beer created a surprising beast of a beer. My best description would be to call this beer a light, carbonated port wine. It does not tastes bitter. It is almost syrupy sweet, and there is a definite raisin flavor. Yet, the hop flavor shines, harnessing the sweetness and making the beer very drinkable - albeit in sips rather than gulps. I need to find more.

Jan 6, 2010 120 IPA 08’- first taste: creamy, hoppy, honey and resin...almost chewable. As it warms (55) the whole profile gets soft and bitter. Shows great vigor now; hoping I can get my hands on some more and wait 5-10 yrs as they say it can age.
after an hour warming...
Almost toasted milk chocolate and whiskey barrell now...good beer, at it’s american avant garde best

Jan 4, 2010 This beer has little in common with the brewery’s 60 and 90 minute IPA’s. This beer is very sweet and alcoholic with hops only really adding to the dryness of the finish and to the balance of the malt sweetness. This is by no means a showcase of hops. A good beer, and certainly extreme and strong and best enjoyed as a sipper at room temperature like a glass of sherry or red wine.

Jan 2, 2010 Updated: Jan 3, 2010Pours a dark yellowish with a white head. Strong hop and alcohol aroma.Taste is sweet and hoppy, can notice hints of the alcohol as you drink it. 90 minute is far superior in my opinion.

Jan 2, 2010 Pours hazy copper with thich off-white cream head. Nose is sour and astringent, with bready hints and banana notes. Medium bodied... but intense sweetness gives it a syrupy quality. Hops are present but are out-dueled by under-attenuation. Finish is hot and lingers a bit like cough syrup. I may be overly harsh because of my high expectations... but still, stick with the 90 minute as it is a far far superior brew

Dec 30, 2009 I’ve looked for this beer at the stores around me for the better part of two years now, and last night I walked into a bar with some friends and saw it listed on the beer list. A bit expensive but I bought it anyways. Smells big on the hops. Mouthfeel is thick, and almost syrupy. Taste is very hoppy as expected, with a citrusy sweet flavor too.

Dec 30, 2009 Keg was tapped today at my local haunt. Just the right complement of low sweetness and bitterness masked the taste of alcohol. Light/Medium body.

Dec 29, 2009 Dark yellow-orange beer with a thin off-white head. Strong alcohol aroma with a lot of sweetness. Very sweet flavor to match, with alcohol beating you back down, overpowering a lot of the very present hop character. Burning. Yet, interesting, and delicious at the same time.
