Jul 17, 2009 Bottle->tulip: pours a large, creamy, off-white head that exhibits spare lacing atop a clear, amber body. Aroma of caramel, resin, and cheese. The body is medium, texture creamy, and has lively carbonation, ending astringently. The flavor’s duration is long, being moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Not a bad beer, but I don’t understand this beer’s place in Dogfish Head’s lineup considering both the 90 and 120 minute IPAs.

Jul 16, 2009 Bottle:
Deep red with an off white, puffy head. Typical imperial IPA aromas with a hint of double cream and vanilla ice-cream. VEry orangy in the mouth but still very creamy. Peaches and cream maybe? That is really very nice. The bitterness is relatively controlled and deliciously smooth. The peachy/apricot flavour is what really sticks with you. This is a remarkably delicate beer, not what I as expecting.

Jul 15, 2009 Draft at The Thirsty Monk. Pours an off-white, lacing head with a golden amber body. Smells of vanilla, pine, and citrus. Flavor is citrus and spice hops, vanilla, and honey. Finish is bitter and caramel.

Jul 13, 2009 Pours an amber-orange with tan fluffy head that desipates with enough to lace. Nice floral citrus aroma with caramel malt and oak. Flavors start with a thin alcohol overcome by carmelized sugar-roasty malt. Flavors warm to a plum brandy with lots of vanillin(oak vanilla and flowery spice). Hops are evident throughout but not dominant what so ever, dries on the finish with an oaky overtone. Not my fav but crazy complex!

Jul 7, 2009 I shared a bottle of this with BeerBaron617. It poured a clear orange-amber color with a light tan head. it smells really good. At first, it’s sort of sticky sweet - butterscotch or caramel. It has a very different kind of flavor. Initially, it’s sweet but not overly so. Only after you have a few sips does the hoppyness come out at you. It has an awkward coffee taste to it, and it’s really creamy too. I like this one a lot.

Jul 7, 2009 MMMMMMMMMM! This stuff is pretty epic.Shared a 12 oz bottle with MereLikesBeer. It pours a caramel-golden amber with tan head. The aroma is subdued hops. and some slight citrus notes. The flavor is all over. Coffee, toffee, piney.. I could go on. Just do yourself a favor and grab some if you see it. Cheers!

Jul 7, 2009 Nice amber color with nice thick creamy head. Has a the taste of an IPA with a smokey malt after taste. It is another interesting beer from Dogfish head the high alcohol content is well hidden. Worth a try but much to expansive for everyday beer. I think the 90 minute is much better and close to the same price.
