Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: American Strong Ale
Milton, Delaware USA

Aged for 2 years. First I will say that the color perfect copper orange glow. Nice lasting head. Aroma is medicinal hints of iodine and varnish. Flavor bitter grape leaves much like the aroma. Sweet and syrupy licorice. Bitter going down the throat. High alcohol numbs the lips and hits you quick. Very unique smooth heavy duty beer. This might be good over pancakes. The ultra black hole anti-hop beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a moderate sized white head that has decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is obviously laced with alcohol, but it weaves in and out in between fruity and woody. Smells very intriguing. Flavor is malty sweet with a big perfumy/earthy/floral presence. Very different. This is definitely one of the most unique beers I have ever had. It’s a sipper, for sure. A true luxury for the taste buds.

Don’t try drinking this one cuz its a sipper. You gotta give your palate some time to take in all the flavors. The strong flavors. Sweet, hoppy, and powerful. If you take your time.....you will really enjoy this one

Pours a deep, rich auburn...almost burnt siena. It smells of cannabis and earth...very sharp. This beverage tastes very flowery...like eating a flower bed, also very sweet...almost brown sugar. After the head disapates, leaves a silky swirl that paints the top. Swirling the glass leaves a thin film that slowly falls back into the glass. Although, this is a bit overwhelming for my tastes, it was good. I could only drink half a bottle however.

Pours a cloudy deep copper. Aroma of fruit, brown sugar, and alcohol. Taste at the front is intensely sweet, almost cloying, followed by a short bitter wine-like dryness. Finish is of plums and warming alcohol. Nice effort. This is the favorite of my wife. Perhaps a bit too strong to pair with a meal.

On tap at Ashleys in Ann Arbor. Hard to explain. . Forget what you though of beer when your try this. The aroma and consistency was unlike anything you have had. Think a big, strong imperial stout but blonde and golden, and of course hoppy. One beer that should be on everyones beer bucket list . . a must try.

Pours hazy orange color with a thin head. Aromas of orange, hops, spice, and alcohol abound. Thick and rich mouthfeel, almost syrupy. There is some sweetness in the flavor, but its not overpowering, and is a nice offset to the bitterness of the hops, as well as the orange zest and spice. Everything seems to play off of everything else perfectly. A GREAT BEER.

Pours a very hazy pumpkin orange with an inch of disappearing off white head from an aggressive pour. Aroma is some hops, sweet mead, and ALCOHOL The flavor of this beer is nowhere near what I had hoped, at least in this bottle. Extremely sweet, alcoholic, and mead-like in a slghtly unpleasant way. The hops are only evident in the finish. Mouthfeel is syrupy, thick, and very warming. Overall, the other reviews of this brew make me wonder if I got an old bottle. The alcohol is very present, but the hops are nowhere near the level claimed in the description, likely because of the intense sweetness and alcohol. I came looking for crazy hops, and this bottle did not deliver.
