Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

Bottled. Courtesy of joss. Appearance: It pours an extremely murky copper beer with a small head. Aroma: Walnut, a lot of caramel, faint coffee, marzipan, cedarwood, moss, geranium, lemon peel, menthol, figs, slight dates; and to my surprise: no hop components which I can relate to! Plenty of character and deeply inviting. Perfumy. Flavor and palate: Full bodied. Sweet. Very syrupy, almost strictly medicinal. Practically no carbonation. Long finish which isn’t bitter at all despite the 120IBUs? Overall impression: Terribly smooth. What a beer! Thanks a lot joss! Magnificent!

Difficult to fault this one for lack of head due to the ABV. Scent is booze over sweet citrus. A little acetone. Gets high marks for not smelling as boozy as it really is. Taste, while boozy, actually seems less so than the lower ABV WWS. Palate is great. Taste is closer to a barleywine, a big sweet mess that works better than it should, but overall is just too big for it’s own good.

Pours amber with an off-white head. Aroma is loads of hops, citrus, grapefruit, grass, high alcohol. Flavour is high alcohol, loads of hops, grapefruit and citrus.

Dessert , Dessert, Dessert. Pours thick, thick, creamy, creamy, Thick on the palate. Spit with a friend to much for one. Flavor is robust. This is dessert tropicl fruit like banana, strewberry ,pinnapples.and cream. medium hops and vineger. Over all this is a great beer but not for one.

bottled 4/17/08. very murky copper pour, nearly opaque. with more head it would be a 5, very appetizing appearance. but it still has a surprising amount of carb for the abv. nose def has a bit of alcohol sheeting the aromas, but there is actually a decent bouquet here. the usual hops, malt, bready yeast, but then there is actually a slightly funky, cheesy twang happening as well. this twang is also available in the taste and aftertaste, giving it notes reminiscent of a good sour. pretty odd.the taste is awesome bitter and resinous. the hops are so dense that funky, smokey, woody, and port like aspects begin to appear. not sure how long it will take me to finish this bottle, very heavy stuff. if anything ever deserved to be in a 7 oz bottle, this is it.

On look we’ve got a sparkling light copper colored beer with a short lived head. Massive floral bouquet and sweetness that would attract any AHB (africanized honey bee) within a 250 mile radius. The amount of fruit on the tongue is impressive. Orange, apricot, and other citrus notes are balanced with just the right amount of sugar. An extreme beer in a class of its own.

Orange color with a very distinctive concentrated sweet and floral aroma. To compare this to another beer might be wrong. It is in a league all its own. A mixture of citrus, apricots and sugary malt. Although it is extreme, it is somehow balanced. It is great the way it is. What an amazing beer.
