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.

Bottle.Sure ,a nice IPA ,but also kind of a let down as I expected so much.Aroma of grains and piny hops.Nice bitterness and malt profile,sure lots of hops but not outstanding.I might not have gotten the freshest bottle living in the outskirts of Europe ,hopefully I will get the chance to sample this brew again.Still ,nice beer.

a great dipa from one of the best stateside brewers. lots of malt in this one (which is not a bad thing in a DIPA) and caramel/molasses notes.

An amazing IPA. Not as much hops as I expected. Very smooth and balance for an IPA. Dark caramel mixed with dark fruits, what could be better. Grapefruit with some pine bitterness mixed in with sweetness.

This is an outstanding, double IPA with a rich, well-rounded character similar to a hoppy, lighter barleywine It’s amber with a large pale tan head that shrinks slowly to a lasting foamy top. It leaves a little weak lace. The aroma is rich with caramelised fruit, bread crust, raisin, hints of grapefruit, orange, hay, dry leaves, and candy. The taste is interesting, with firm sweetness, bitterness, and spiceiness, all coordinated and balanced nicely. It tastes of dry bread crust and prunes with hints of grapefruit, leaves, caramel, candied fruit, spicey raisins, candy, alcoholic spice and warmth. The sweetness is thick at first but this soon is joined by rich hop character and tingly bitterness on the sides of the tounge. Rich and engaging, it’s well-integrated and very drinkable.
