Commercial Description:
The Devil Dog will chew you up and leave you whimpering for more, At 98 IBU’s and 5.2 pounds of hops to the barrel it is an all out assault on the senses. Devil Dog Started as a labor of love but quickly took on a life of its own, leaving us drooling like Pavlov’s dogs at the mere mention of its name. Triple dry hopped and at 10% ABV, more than one of these bad boys will cause you to howl at passing strangers and chew up your toys, or anything else you can get your sharp little teeth on. Hops: Columbus, Northern Brewer, Ahtanum, Cascade and Simcoe Malt: Pale, Carmel and Munich

Bottle: Toasty malt base aroma with floral, grassy, and lemony hops; full bodied, smooth, rich malt body supporting a fairly bitter, but not harsh, hoppiness with similar flavors as the nose; creamy finish. Maybe the best palate of the style I’ve had until now. Very nice IIPA.

22oz bottle from the The Epeeist, thanks Chris. Dark brownish pour with a slight orange tint to it. Smelled spicy, like cinnamon with a little hoppiness to it. Very nice hop bitterness in the flavor though very nice smoothness as well.

Sampled on 10/23/2008. This imperial IPA pours a slightly hazy orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head nice retention and decent lacing. The aroma is grapefruit, pineapple, caramel and sweet. A medium to full bodied Imperial IPA. The malts are caramel, fruity and sweet. The hops are grapefruity, floral and a touch piney. A medium bitterness Imperial IPA. Lively carbonation. Lots of orange and orange peel flavors towards the back end of the taste. Hides the 10% alcohol well. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is somewhat bitter.

8-26-08 bottle thanks to miketd <br /> Clear amber orange with a decent white head and some good sticky lacing. Smell is very sweet. Flavor is honey and fruit preserves..... syrupy fruit juice. Mouthfeel is okay - not great. Just a sweet and kinda strange flavor.

Dark yellow with foamy head. This is a big hoppy melange with malt. The bitterness is not acidic but it is a bitter mouthfeel. Yes its a very decent DIPA. 43rd or 44th state.Above average mouthfeel. Thanks SuzyGreenberg.
