Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

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

This is a review of a year old bottle Pours a one finger white head. Body is a translucent golden amber. Head retention and lacing are slightly above average First aroma is tons of hops, piny and citrus. Next sweet apricot come in and is mixed with vodka or some other alcohol. First taste is of very sweet malt. Lots of diacetyls, like drinking butterscotch schnapps. Hops arent as extreme as in the nose. Resinous, piny with some orange citrus. Alcohol is definitely apparent in here but mixed with the malt and flavors of dried apricot and candied sugar, its toned down abit. Tastes like an aged double barleywine, if those exist Mouth feel is good. Goes down thick and buttery. Carbonation is surprisingly lively for such a big beer. Head died down kinda fast but that was expected for this one. Overall it was good. Definitely a sipper, took over an hour to finish. Very complex beer, one of a kind. Would buy again, probably best to share the bottle with someone

Absurd. It’s hard to believe that this beer carries with it the alcohol that it does when the taste is so smooth! So glad I had it before the volume was reduced, this ale did not need to lose any weight.

Bottle. Pours golden with a laced white head. A massive aroma of pine hops, ripe fruit, caramel and alcohol. It is boozy which comes through in the flavour. A vicous mouthfeel, much like syrup. Feels quite heavy. It’s all pretty intense but yet intriguing. Finishes sweet alcoholic with more hoppy craziness. A unique beer no doubt which helped bump the rating up a notch.

Bottle. Nice beer, but I much prefer the 90 minute! Pours a golden amber with lasting white head. Nose of citrusy hops. Not as balanced as the 90 with an overall bitter orange character and very sweet.

The flavor and smell of this beer is just amazing! Has a different flavor than any ipa I have had. The hops are definately there but the bitterness usually associated with hops is absent

Wow, this is one full on beer! Huge aroma, full of citrus hop character with some very rich malt sweetness. Very rich in the mouth with quite a bit of sweetness, the alcohol is evident with loads of hop flavour too. Just a real viscous mouthfeel, unlike anything I’ve had before. I got a buzz from this beer almost straight away and after I’d finished it I could certainly feel the affects. Amazing beer, this review doesn’t do it justice by an means.

12oz bottle dated 11/06/08. One of my favorite beers of all time is the 90 minute IPA so I figured the 120 minute would be that much better. Unfortunately this one is just too much for me. Kicked my *ss actually. Overall I found it to be too sweet and way too much alcohol to be enjoyable in the same way as the 90 minute. It was fun to try but I think it went 30 minutes too far.

ྫྷ ounce bottle - pint glass) Pours a reddish brown color, has little head. I don’t really understand why the call it the holy grail of hopheads because it is more malty and sweet than hoppy. Taste is a little boozy. Can also taste chocolate and coffee notes. Thick oily mouthfeel. I liked it alot but it cost me $10 for a 12 ounce bottle.
