Dec 28, 2008 Aroma of citrus hops, lots of rich malt and some caramel, apricot, pours a small tan head. Taste is full on malt, plenty of orange goodness. Full bodied, very well balanced, bitterly delightful. Fantastic!

Dec 26, 2008 Nose is hoppy as well as the first sip. Not picking up any oak from nose or taste. 10 percent wow alcohol burn and a little on the bitter side. I expected this to be a little smoother but its just shy of having a bite to it.Not one of my favs by a long shot.If youre a hop head go for if not steer clear.

Dec 17, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with a steady off white head. Floral, sweet smell with a soft wood scent in the background. Smooth malt and hops meld together then are followed by the bitterness of the hops blended with an oaky feel. Alcohol is very present. Heavy mouthfeel with some big bite.

Dec 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a very large, frothy head white in color. Aromas of malt, oak, hops, and port. Creamy texture with an oily mouth-feel. Fruity taste, extremely smooth. One fantastic beer.

Nov 21, 2008 Silky, heavy mouthfeel. Oak and hops dominate this brew. That is not a complaint, as the two balance each other very well. Also hints of caramel, honey, and floral notes. A very interesting IPA. Dogfish definitely has the IPA down, and they continue to reinvent it. Well worth a try.

Nov 20, 2008 Poors a deep golden brown color with a thick, foamy head. Aroma is a lot like that of a Rochefort 10. Very pleasant. 10% abv.
Moderate vanilla over beer flavor with a slight bitterness kick back. Easily better than the Breckenridge Vanilla Porter, which is my closest comparison by flavor. Dogfish Head appears to specialize in subtle flavorings and they don’t disappoint with this beer.

Nov 18, 2008 GABF 2008. An incredibly original take on the IIPA style-- rich heavy malts of burnt sugar, caramel, maple, vanilla (like a creme brulee) complimented by lushious tropical fruit hop flavours (lychee, passionfruit). Big, big flavours that, for me anyway, seemed in perfect balance.
