Commercial Description:
Founders most complex, most innovative, most feared and yet most revered ale produced. Massive in complexity the huge malt character balances the insane amount of alpha’s used to create this monster. More IBU’s than any brewery has documented, more than you would believe and dry-hopped for twenty-six days straight with a combination of 10 hop varieties. Dangerously drinkable and deliciously evil. We dare you to dance with the Devil. 112 IBUs

07 bottle thanks to yem25, thanks Ryan. Poured an amber-copper color with a thick beige head that left some nice lacing. Strong aroma of citrus (grapefruit, orange, and apricot) and some undertones of leafy, earthy hops and caramel malt. Nice caramel malt with some toffee character leads into a nice citrus flavor (grapefruit and soft apricot) with some light leafy hops on the finish. Thick, smooth mouthfeel with a light bitter finish. Very nice beer, this definitely exceeded my expectations. Thanks again Ryan, I appreciate it.

Pours a dark reddish amber with creamy, rocky white head. Very flavorful, with a thick mouthfeel. Caramel malt, dark and light fruits, citrus, grapefruit, and floral bitting bitterness. Kind of chewy and similar to a barleywine. This is good stuff :)

4 pack bottle purchased at Whole Foods. Pours a beautiful dark red. Visually I cannot think of a better looking beer. Initially had more carbonation than I expected for such a dark red beer. medium head, about a quarter inch that disappates after a few minutes. Light lacing. Smells of fresh citrus, hops and carmel, maybe even some chocolate. Very full mouth feel, smooth and full at first but then an explosion of bitterness and hops that lingers until your next sip, absolutely delicious with a long long finish.

On Tap. A beautiful amber color with a small off white creamy head.Very nice lacing. Aromas of dark and citrus fruits. Hops galore with a nice malty finish. Smooth and dry mouth feel. Great IPA. 13% abv, another fantastic beer from Founders. Ok I will say it... Danced with the Devil.

bottle. Reddish hue with a moderate sized off-white head. Aroma is initially big, syrupy malt but is quickly joined by even bigger citric hops. Flavor opens with sweet caramel malt but is then overpowered by hops; piney at first, the grapefruity. Finish is all bitter, with hop resin coating the palate for a long time. It’s intended to be a hop bomb and accomplishes its mission.

In bottle at Jerry’s. Caramel colored, visibly thick, with good, creamy tan head / Complex, candied nose of caramel and orange peel with big body easily masking the big alcohol / Full-bodied, with rich, sweet caramel malts, a touch cloying, with big, chewy, biting hops / Flavors of caramel and figs with undertones of orange peel / Very good, but massive malt body moves it out of the double ipa realm for me. Agree with the apt comparison to Dogfish 120, below.

On tap at D Room. Dark copper in color with a little white head. Hoppy sweet malty aroma. Caramel citrusy notes. Fruity citrusy malty flavor. Apricot notes. Strong tasting. Finish is bitter. Full bodied. Wow. Great beer.
