Apr 8, 2009 Interresting beer. Hops on the nose with a pleasant smell of oak. Dark reddish ruby color with a small amount of head that leaves a bit too soon. Fun beer from Dogfish Head. Sweet hops and with a bit of a nice malt oak finish.

Apr 4, 2009 On tap in a tulip;pours clear amber with minimal head; grapefruit/virus with a hint of pine (pleasant but not overwhelming); a tangy bitter that finishes the same way. This beer is a good example of this style, nothing fancy but very solid.

Mar 29, 2009 341 ml bottle courtesy of HogtownHarry. Deep and hazy mahogany. Pours a frothy beige cap. Leaves some pretty lace. Nose is toffee and caramel, peaches and orange. Some woody earthy hops too. Tastes of caramel, vanilla, lots of oak, quite fruity too. Flavours of brown sugar are huge. The hops don’t play as much as a role as I thought they would, and overall this is a lot sweeter than I expected. The finish does show earthy caramel malts with fresh hop bitterness. Long finish. Reminds of of a sweeter version of 90 minute, or what I’d expect 90 minute to taste like blended with a Fuller’s Vintage Ale. Thanks for the bottle Harry!

Mar 25, 2009 Ok I don’t understand this. Says IIPA but not at all. Overly sweet of caramel and oak. Think and chewy.

Feb 18, 2009 Thanks to HogTownHarry for good willing this to me. Appearance: Cherry/orange/brown with a frothy white head. Aroma: Hops, yeast, some wood notes with malt and sweetness coming through. Flavour: Chewy sweet, alcohol, malt, wood again, hops there but I’m surprised to see this is a Double IPA. A caramel/maple syrup finish. All in all a great beer but not what I expected. Thanks Harry.

Feb 17, 2009 12oz bottle shared by Dogbrick. I forgot to ask if it was one I gave him a year ago because I bought a quad and hated it. All beers are deserving of a second chance, especially as the palate evolves. Pours cloudy amber with a big off-white head. Malty and sugary aroma with some hop and alcohol. Bourbon, vanilla and caramel malt up front with a hop finish. Not outstanding, but I definitely like it better this time than last.

Feb 12, 2009 Bottle from Jan 2007 - Pours a straw orange with a small white head...aroma is heavy barrel tartness, malt...flavour is way diferent, first sip is blindingly sweet, but as it warms and opens, it evolves into a malty, burnt sugar, dry fruity brew...the alcohol is not burning my throat, but is keeping me from rollerskating a straight line tonight...I don’t figure how this is classified X2IPA with any rationality, but whatever...great dessert beer...
