Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

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

well i just bought kill bill 2 (having never seen it before) and what better way to celebrate this movie than to drink a beer ive had for 6 months (plus some high lifes). pours out red colored, not much carbonation in it. taste is very sweet, and grassy. but not as bitter as they claim. rogue old crustation is so much more bitter than this, its not even funny- hell 90 min is more bitter even. this is still a good brew, though im not sure its up to normal DFH speed. sure, its great, but is it the "holy grail for hopheads" - no ,thats dreadnaught. goodnight.

WOW! Honey, sweet, amazing bitter, sour, awesome, is this phenolic? something medicinal, the alcohol and sugar is taxing but it's effort rewarded by this amazing brew.

Hmm, hop bomb. Super hoppy aroma, almost like whiffing a condensed forest. Taste is bitter with a citrus and pine extract. Lots of malting for balance but this beer is all about the hops. Not sure if I could do more than a bottle but nevertheless, this bottle is great.

12 oz Bottle Pours a amber topped with a small white head. A great hop aroma. 21% that is crazy WOW. I don’t see the 21 at has some very sweet as well. Thanks Indiana_Red for my #200.

Nice hop aroma. Golden color with a white head. Grape body with a nice sharp hop pattern. Nice hop palate. Very nice.

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

12 oz bottle from 2005 purchased at Oak Tree in New Jersey. Pour is clear orange gold with a 1/2 inch slightly off white head. Aroma of big, sticky sweet molasses. Had the nose of a Barley Wine. Taste is a lot more of the sweetness, very big sugary sweetness that really never fades. I very much had the sweet taste until each sip. Some nice nuttiness mid palate as well. There is no perceptible alcohol in the aroma or taste, though there is some burning in my chest to prove it is there. Also, the hoppiness has faded almost completely. I am not shocked, since this is at least two years old. I really had no expectations for this one, and was surprised at how "Barley Wine" like it tasted. Fun one to try, and would love to try it fresh for comparison sake.

I was not really prepared for this beer and because the ABV is not printed on the bottle I had no idea how powerful this one was. I poured a cloudy orange color with a moderate head and sticky lacing. The nose was so intense in made my eyes water, and smelled more like cognac than beer. In addition to the alcohol there are huge aromas of citrus, pine, and flowers in the hops. This is simply a hop monster. The mouthfeel is more like cognac than beer as well, but it remarkably smooth and full bodied for something so powerful. The flavor demands this be sipped, and that is fine because it is fun to drink. The finish is alcohol of course with some sweetness ,but it actually finishes dry. This is a beer like no other I have ever seen, and it was not until I came to review it I realized it was 21% ABV. Not something you would drink every day, but one worth repeating for a special occasion.
