Commercial Description:
Stoudt's Double IPA is a strong, full-bodied ale with an intense hop character and deep golden color. This unusual brew is characteristic of the newly recognized style of extremely hoppy and malty ales of American origin. The Double IPA is our strongest beer with an alcohol of over 10% abv and bitterness of more than 75 IBU's. Multiple kettle hop additions and generous dry hopping contribute to the powerful yet smooth and fragrant hop character of this beer. 10% abv.

This Double IPA is above average for the style, which makes it a very good beer. Having only consumed it in a dark bar, I can’t give you a read on the color, but it has a good solid head. The aroma -- I swear -- reminds me of strawberries, which is intriguing, but (probably fortunately) doesn’t really carry over into the taste. The flavor is grapefruity hops with a hint of pineapple over the classic "solid malt backbone." Mouthfeel (which is very important to me) is full and round, with a nice sparkle of carbonation. Finishes clean and satisfying. Highly recommended.

Pours a reddish orange (maybe burnt orange) with a thin white head. Very hoppy citrusy aroma. Very powerful DIPA. Pungent hops really wail on your palette. Bitter grapefruit aftertaste lingers in your mouth. Solid brew.

From bottle : Pours very clear, yellow, with a small offwhite head. Nice floral hop aroma, with a nice hop taste. Little alcohol on the tail end. Pretty smooth going down, nice bitter bit toward the end as well.

solid, handsome, off white head. Nice floral aroma. Great malt/hop balance. Finish is clean and bitter. Overall, a well constructed BIG DIPA.

Pours a rugged orange with a small head that dissipates fast. Highly aromatic with hop resins and esters punching through everything else in the room. Palate is syrupy, and alcohol is detectable. So are the sugars. Not enough complexity for such a heavy beer.

Bottle: Pours a nice hazy deep orange with a consistent white head. The aroma is sweet/sugary hops, sticky pastries, slight plastic-y phenolic notes, and an evident alcohol sting as well. Dense, creamy mouth feel. Has a very sweet flavor overall. The hops are present, but only get lost with the sugary body, not supplying any resinous dry character that IIPAs need. The malt gives off plenty of butterscotch character, rocky candy sweetness, and there’s some orange meringue in there as well. Has a late punch of alcohol presence. Somewhat tasty IIPA, but definitely needs more bittering hops in the recipe.

Wow. Pours a coppery amber with a two-inch thick white head. Great hoppy nose. Rich hoppy flavor with a hefty malt backbone. Very well balanced for an extreme beer. Excellent.

Very hoppy sweet aroma, hint of eggs? Tasty, strong alcohol. Nice hoppy flavor, slightly sweet. Good Double.
