Commercial Description:
The elusive brew is made from pilsner malt and amber malt with an original gravity of 26.5?P, yielding an 11% abv. It's hopped with Warrior and Glacier varieties. Primary fermentation takes place in open vessels using two yeast strains, one American and one English. For added complexity, the beer is conditioned on barrel staves of French Oak for four months before being dry hopped with Glacier at the rate of a half-pound per barrel. This elixir is then blended 50/50 with 90 Minute IPA. After blending, the beer will measure 80 IBU and 10% abv. Bottled in corked bottles through Michael Jackson’s rare beer club by late November 04 and available in 12 ounce full distribution in early January 05.

Pretty good, but I like the 90 minute much better. Much sweeter and with a more woody flavor to it. Not as much hop flavor as I expected. Alcoholic finish with a light hop presence. Three ounces of this was enough for me.

bottle from archerliquor. I almost hate to rate this one and mess up the total of 666 ratings. Clear reddish orange amber with a small fizzy white head. Beautiful caramel and fruit aroma. Crisp citrus, orange, caramel, mild vanilla, and grape taste with a big alcoholic warmth and some very subtle oak flavors.

12oz bottle - Pours dark amber with a one finger, lasting head that laces well. It has an assertive aroma of hops with plenty of citrus. The flavor is a complex blend of strong, citrus accented hops, a background of caramel malt, and some obvious oak flavors from the barrel aging. It’s not subtle, but it definitely works. It’s another creative and tasty concoction from Dogfish Head.

Sweet from the first whiff to the last sip. This amber beer with a light long lasting head has strong alcohol flavour and is complex. fruity, apricot and flowers, nice mild hops balanced by an oaky malt. beer and whiskey together at last, drink this one slowly.

Pours a full bodied golden color with a light gold head. The beer is very clear in the glass with few bubbles, but the head sticks around for a while. The aroma was a little hard for me to pin down, but there were definitely some hops in there. This beer is surprisingly creamy when it first hits your mouth and ends with a hoppy bight. The bubbles are very tiny and play on your tongue. This beer is a bit heavy for a spring IPA, but it has a lot of good body and flavor. If you are looking for a little heavier IPA this is a good choice.

I can’t resist trying anything from Dogfish Head, but this is one I’ll pass on in the future. The thing that really hits me as off on this one probably comes from the oak barrels. It tastes almost like somebody dropped a whiskey shot into a 90 minute IPA. The alcohol is too obvious and the overall flavor is not what I like.

Draft at the Flying Saucer in San Antonio. Red/Amber color with minimal off-white head. Smell is like sweet hard candy. Initial malty sweetness is almost immediately covered by strong hops and some alcohol. The hops are good and resiny, slight pine/grapefruit.. but mainly resiny. They stick for a long time. This is a good beer and needs to be sipped to be respected.

Bottle. Hazy orange almost red color with a fine off white head. Lacing down the whole glass. Aroma is sweet, hoppy with notes of alcohol. Flavor is sweet fruit with alcohol present in the back. Interesting Double IPA. Very nice
