Commercial Description:
The elusive brew is made from pilsner malt and amber malt with an original gravity of 26.5?P, yielding an 11% abv. It's hopped with Warrior and Glacier varieties. Primary fermentation takes place in open vessels using two yeast strains, one American and one English. For added complexity, the beer is conditioned on barrel staves of French Oak for four months before being dry hopped with Glacier at the rate of a half-pound per barrel. This elixir is then blended 50/50 with 90 Minute IPA. After blending, the beer will measure 80 IBU and 10% abv. Bottled in corked bottles through Michael Jackson’s rare beer club by late November 04 and available in 12 ounce full distribution in early January 05.

12oz bottle courtesy MaltaJoe. Pours a deep copper amber with a thicck off white head. Hints a malt, oak, caramel in the aroma, but not overpowering. Taste is slightly sweet malty, with a hop bitterness that give a lot of citrus grapefruit dryness. Really big overpowering hop attack in the taste that you just can’t see coming in th aroma. Leaves a hop, grapefruit bitter aftertaste. Very enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Pours red/orange with a lasting beige head. Fruity aroma with citric hops and caramel. Medium, smooth body. Soft hops in the flavor, great balance of bitter and sweet, also a note of caramel. Aging gives it an interesting dimension, though I don’t know if it really makes it any better. Nice nonetheless.

Lots of hops in the aroma, not a lot of hop bite though as I was hoping. Not sure what the oak aspect does for this, as this tastes VERY similar to the 90 minute. Taste is way more sweet of molasses and sugars then that of hops, or oak. Its a pretty good beer, but i dont think its 14 bucks a 4 pack good.

Some crazy stuff. Bronzish orange with a massive head with a whipped pudding consistency. Nose is incredibly hoppy, flavour doesn’t match -- lots of brown sugar, tropical fruit, apples, plus woody notes and alcohol. Bit of an odd combo, not sure it works, but I appreciate the effort.

Pours a dark copper. Alcohol and oak flavors come through, but it killed the hoppiness for me. Not crazy about it.

a very drinkable double ipa. the appearance is copper colored with a thin layer of beige foam, the aroma is citrusy and the flavor is sweet and hoppy.

The first time I have seen this beer it was sitting next to the 90 minute and it was about a buck more so I thought that dog fish did even better than the godfather of ipa’s? well I hate to say it but no way. I can taste what they were trying to do but how can you make old ninety any better guys? Maybe brew it in gold barrels...
