Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

12 oz. bottle - I paid $9.99 for this beer and it better be good. Poured a reddish copper color with thin head. Aroma was strong, Hops and booze mostly. Taste is somewhat smooth for such a high ABV. Its like drinking a well made mixed drink with a nice scent and alot of malt on tongue. I enjoyed the brew and would like another, to bad I only have one. Rating would be higher but price does not out weigh taste.

Bottle (April 2008). Pours orange with a dense off white head that doesn’t go away. The aroma is a bit boozy, but mostly sweet and hoppy, with perfume and fruity sweetness. The body is not as syrupy as I expected and the flavor is not as overpoweringly hoppy as I expected. It is a bit sweet and fruity with perfumey and floral notes. This is a bit over the top, but it’s actually way more drinkable than I thought it would be.

It has been a while since I have found a five but this is it. Pours with a three-finger, bubbly cream head that fades slowly and leaves a nice lace. Cloudy amber color. Good carbonation. Nose is sweet, gingery, malty. Starts with a perfect mix of malt and hops and finishes smooth and sweet NOT a session beer . . . savor this beer . . . their site has this at 20% ABV. Medium bodied. This is the best IPA brewed in the States. Worth $7.99 for a 12oz bottle from Tully’s Beer and Wine Wells, Me

Poured a copper-amber color. Aroma was everything I’d expected. Potent but smooth with a nice hop backbone. Flavor was unbelievable. So potent, but not overpowering. For being as strong as it is, it really is well balanced. Sweet and malty, but yet with great hop flavor. Very very good.

Pours a rich orange color from the bottle with a faint white head. Plenty of yeast in the aroma and at the bottom of the glass. Slightly sour with plenty of acidity. So laden with alcohol that it’s actually pretty tough to drink. Notes of apricot marmalade, overripe apples, and sweet spices along with a prominent malt profile. Whoa.

Wow! On so many levels this beer is great, not to bitter, not overly carbonated, clean mouth feel, all comes to a mild dry finish. However the two parts I dislike in this beer are the price, but I guess with the price of hops and the amount used in this beer it is understandable. The second is is aroma, the high alcohol content really comes through and doesn’t lend to the beers drinkability. I found myself pluging my nose from mouth full to mouth full. But if you haven’t had it yet it is worth the money and time.

Wow, completely not what I expected. First of all, i had no clue this was 21% alcohol because the bottle I bought did not have the ABV listed. You figure out the alcohol pretty quickly though upon first sent. It pours well, dark amber/honey color - not much of a head on it. The aroma is slightly cirtrus and the alcohol is prevelant but not overpowering. I was expecting to be blown away with bitterness but was pleasantly surprised to find a sweetness to it. It will leave a lingering airy bitter taste on your palate but nothing overpowering. The alcohol is well hidden while you’re drinking it and the sweetness makes it go down quite smoothly. Overall, a pleasant surprise but at over $8/bottle not an everyday brew

Surprisingly sweet and easy to drink for something that’s so massively full of alcohol. HUGE hop taste here too, this mother is going to straight up knock you on your ass but you’re going to love every minute of it.
