Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

This beer poured an opaque amber color with a good sized sustainable head. Had very stong floral scents and very hoppy. However, the flavor was overwhelmingly sweet which inhibited the hoppiness to come through. Actually appreciated the aroma of this beer more than the flavor. This was a tough rate.

Strong beer, delightfully hoppy, but sweet to the point of being offputting. Not much head, but that’s not a negative. The 120 minute hopping certainly gave it a heck of a flavor, but appreciating it through the incredible sweetness was no easy task. A work of flawed genius if there ever was one.

wow this beer backs a punch. I actaully was happy to get my hands on a case of this fine stuff and the brewery they were a little leary about selling me a whole case but then finally just gave in. WOW the hops in this are crazy it’s a knock you on the floor beer. Great over all coming from a guy who is inlove with hopps.

6oz draft pour for $5 at Eli Cannon’s, CT. Pours an orange color with a small head. Looks formidable in that small glass! Aroma is surprisingly rich of floral bouquet. I didn’t expect an aroma that so serenely masked the high alcohol of this brew. Flavor initially was high in alcohol, again a surprising trait because it soon subsided into rich, hoppy flavor. Otherwise, this “extreme” beer was really quite normal. There was pine. There was a touch of grapefruit. There was enough sweetness to make this hop-drink quaffable. I can’t knock this beer, but really, there are better-made impy IPAs out there (including DFH 90 minute). Holy grail for hop-heads? Try holy grail for extreme beerists.

Bottle thanks to mmm///beer. I had a cool experience with this beer going to a ’how to brew beer’ class tonight. I decided to bring a beer with me, and this was the only beer in my fridge that was cold. Needless to day, the class was surprised when I finished a 20% beer in just over an hour! Pours a dark amber color with a small off-white head. The aroma was very nice; tons of sweet candy, fruit, and hop notes. I was really surprised by how drinkable this was, I don’t want to suggest that it was with a huge alcohol presence, but it was made so well that the alcohol fit in well to the overall taste. Lots of grapefruit, some pine, a smooth and very sweet malt. Very enjoyable. My favorite DFH.

Bottle at EBF. Clear dark amber - white head. High sweetness, vegetables, high alcoholic, vinous, nice bitterness, no fresh hoppiness. A bit simple. The body is not as sticky and powerfull as I expected.

Sample at EBF Copenhagen. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are hops, fruits, flowers and malt. Very vinous.

Bottle. Yowzas. what a treat!! Pours a glowing orange. Strong hop and sugar aromas. Flavors are full, hops to spare, candy-like tones. The alcohol flavor doesn’t hit until the finish. Very very sweet hops. I really like this one. I need to get another bottle so I can age it!
