Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

Pours a darker somewhat cloudy amber. Beautiful. Dried apricots and mangoes on the nose along with some hops and a super strong alcohol smell. On the palate I get corn syrup, hops, strong sweetness, molasses, caramel and more hops. Very sticky and very full bodied. Just an awesome beer that will only get better with time.

Aroma was of caramel, banana, and citrus. Taste was sweet with caramel and alcohol. I was surprised that I kind of liked it.

Bottle. About one year old. Thanks to Dempa. Cloudy orange/brown colour. Lots of sweet maltiness and alcohol, caramel, fruitiness, sugar, strong desert wine, maybe some hops somewhere there in the background. I liked it, but maybe you have to be a malthead (or boozehead).

The aroma is sweet in a syrupy fermented way with floral notes. It is amber and orange in appearance. The flavor has a sweetness, almost boozy sugar flavor. The flavor is strong all around the tongue, but the finish has an ever so subtle bitterness like a ghost you can’t catch. It tastes almost like a malty barley wine on the palate.

Major thanks to a local bottle shop for this one! Cloudy orange pour with a fuzzy head. Double smell aged with just about everything. Sweet feeling with candied sugar. Wooooo! SO complex and flavorful! My taste buds are going crazy. Similar traits with Avery’s Beast, and very well done. Intense as HELL! Very glad to have gotten to try this one.

Calling it beer seems strange and unwelcome. This "beer" pours a golden brown/amber color with a quickly disappearing head. The smell is almost exactly as I expected from this hopped up brew: alcohol, hops, and a slight scent of honey. The taste is almost exactly as it smells with a sharp initial sensation of alcohol and hops but ending with a bittersweet honey flavor. Basically... it tastes like sweet sugary sex.

Had this for a second time on tap at sunset. It was really nice the first time from bottle, it was outstanding the second time. Sweet aroma of citrus fruits, sugars, and sweet hops. Flavor is complex and well-balanced fruit and mild hop display with a nice bourbon finish.

Poured from 12oz bottle. Wow. Really strong, all around. Strong smell, almost like a bourbon. Strong taste...kind of hard to discern any hoppy flavor through the high alcohol level, but I have to say, I really liked this beer. Very murky appearance. Considering it’s about the equivalent of 6 shots of vodka, I’d reach for this beer rather than liquor next time. Definitely a sipping beer, although it didn’t last long in my glass.
