Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Milton, Delaware USA

aroma left me wanting a little more, didn’t have that crazy hopped out nose like you get from stone. looks crazy bubbly in the glass, nice clear copper. flavor is very well balanced, super clean. clean crystal malts, lots of them but in a good way. very fruity. the hops are there but balanced. the finish isn’t very biting, surprising it’s 90 IBUs. this was bottled on 7/17/09 so it’s still pretty fresh. very drinkable for 9%, wouldnt have guessed it at all. the alc flavor isn’t apparent. More malty than I like my IPAs, it almost reaches barley wine levels. Very good but in a different style than I was expecting. alc isn’t too noticeable in the flavor but it is on the brain.

I like this. The hops and malt balance works, very well blended. Not as bright on the hops as others but makes up with some brown sugars which gives a very good feel on the tongue. Lacing is nice on the glass. Good stuff.

Bottle. Dark Brown Pour. Very Malty. High ABV, doesn’t really drink like an IPA. Very Smooth. Hint of citrus, nice clean finish. B+

Aroma is citrus and caramel. Lots of malt sweetness come through. I like this beer, but it feels more like an American strong or even American brown than an IPA to me. I guess I’m partial to west coast stuff.

Esquire Magazine calls our 90 Minute I.I.PA., "perhaps the best I.P.A. in America." An Imperial I.P.A. brewed to be savored from a snifter. A big beer with a great malt backbone that stands up to the extreme hopping rate. This beer is an excellent candidate for use with Randall The Enamel Animal!

Bottle at Oliver Twist in April 09. Dark brown color with a small head. Citrus, caramel, some chocolate, sugar and slightly burnt. Initially I thought the taste reminded a bit of a stout, a little coffee and chocolate. Thereafter became more fruity taste with a pleasant bitter. Medium-heavy body, very good!

I love the 90 Minute from Dogfish Head. This beer is so good! Floral and hoppy with the perfect amount of hops. Just wish it was sold in 12 oz.

This stuff is just plain good. The softest icing sugar taste combine with luscious and tangy hops to form an awesome pairing. The bond of these two just crash the mouth with wave after wave of depth. Just when you think its all done, an amazing toasted roast comes through on the finish and leaves you wanting more. Smart, sexy and masterly crafted. One of the best I have ever tasted.
