Founders Devil Dancer Triple IPA

will re rerate at a later date. was slightly drunk last time. currently have one thats been sitting now for quite awhile. after my trip to Arkansas Ill redo this.

Wicked hoppy aroma and a beautiful deep amber color. Truly something to behold in the glass. Flavor is one-dimensional, but MASSIVELY HUGE - Hops. The finish was incredibly bitter and long-lasting: well after the last swallow I couldn’t shake the taste. This beer is a bit of an enigma to me. Why go to all the trouble of making it so darn powerful if in the process all flavors except the hops are destroyed? I don’t doubt that under the right conditions this beer could make one believe that all is right in the world, but I have yet to find that happy place. Sooooo, for me this beer is completely over-the-top.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a very nice cloudy deep amber with beige head. Aroma is very hoppy and obvious alcohol notes that blended very well. Flavor is of nice strong hops, sweet malt, alcohol to boot that blends in smoothly. Mouthfeel is full bodied heavy beer, med. carbonation. Overall this is very nice.......has warming effect.

Thanks to KingpinIPA for this one. Bottle. Beautiful rich copper orange color. Citrus, pine hop and malt aroma. Sweet malt with citrus. Slight hop bitter finish. Very drinkable for such a strong IPA.

bottle thanks to RCL in trade. I really appreciate the upgrade on this one. this poured a cloudy caramel type color with a tiny beige head. aroma was wonderful with grapefruit, hops, and dough. flavor was great also with citrus, hops, caramel, and maybe had some doughyness in it. this might have just climbed up the ranks to my favorite so far!!

Bottle. Pours a dark cloudy brown with no real head. Aroma of sweet malt, lots of citrus, and grapefruit. Flavor is incredibly sweet with a bitter hops finish. Very strong. This beer had an odd interplay between the bitter hops and super sweet malt that just didn’t mesh well. Too heavy and strong so that lots of the other flavors normally found in IIPAs are hidden here. I agree with another rater that this beer is somewhat similar to 120 min (although much better and far more drinkable, but designed in the same vein I’d imagine). Too much for me. Maybe it’s better fresh??

Bottle, thanks to sprinkle. This is a monster in all regards. Useless to list out everything because there really is everything in this beer. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, I found the malts to just be too overpoweringly sweet, with the bitterness taking a back seat until the finish when the rest of the show was over. Alcohol also seemed to thin out the otherwise unbelievably rich malts. Just too big I thought. More than complex, it was an unnecessary onslaught.

Poured a nice brownish red with very little head. The aroma is a hint of strawberry mixed with hops and spice. This is pretty thick and flavor filled, with a rich malt and floral combo that dissolves in your mouth, leaving alcohol and a caramel/chocolate/malt finish. It’s rich enough to make it hard to drink more than one, and strong enough too.
