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.

Another fine beer from the boys in Milton. Deep mahogany/ruby in color, great aroma of strong citrusy hops and think sweet malt. First sip is strong but not overwhelming in flavor. The complexity of this beer staves off the alcohol. Very smooth and clean. This beer has good balance, and would age very well. I was impressed again by Sam and the guys at Dogfish Head

Clear deep redwood hue with a grainy off white thin head. A sweet wood aroma with a tinge of orange citrus. Full bodied and lower carbonation. Dried fruit flavors, carmel and the dusty bite of the oak. It has a wide range of levels of flavor. From high to low to high again. Big bold sticky warming finish of sweet alcohol.

This is what I would expect from the makers of 90 min and 120 min. This IPA is BRUTAL. But it’s so balanced . So incredibly flavorful your cheeks tingle and spit with every sip. Just one hell of an IIPA that I will absolutely buy again.

12 ounce glass in pint glass. Amber with lasting ring and lace. Citrus hop aroma with slight alcohol and overipe fruit. Pretty decent fruity flavor peach apricot golden raisin with pronouced sweetness and hoppy very piney finish, faint alcohol. Like drinking a snowy spruce forest. Full body and medium-low carbo. I’m not a big fan of the style, but there’s nothing wrong with this one. I’m enjoying it slowly.

Bottled 12\29\05: Poured a dark cloudy orange with a thin tan head. Aroma is very pleasant, it has hints of maple, oak, brown sugar, hops and dark fruit. The flavor was extremely complex and had a unique sweet flavor to it, with notes of caramel, malt, hops, butterscotch, wine and a vanilla finish. I thought this beer was different from most I2PA’s and reminded me of a ASA or a BW. Very Easy drinking and smooth for 10%.

Reddish and clear in color...a very good smelling beer, too, with a peachy-type aroma. The taste was not very overwhelming, slightly on the thin side, in fact. I expected more bitterness and flavors of the wood intermingled. This was not bad, just not what I expected.

From a 12oz bottle pours a deep, transparent, copper amber color with a slight off white head that settled into a lasting ring. Aroma much like a typical IPA, citrus, pine but also heavy vanilla and oak. Flavor reminded me a lot of a barleywine, hop bitterness with a strong malt backing. Hints of biscuit, bourbon, vanilla and oak. Full bodied in the mouth with some lasting bitterness. Unique and tasty.

Copper colored beneath a thick and dense white head. Aroma of citrus, some tropical fruits and wood. Pleasant bitterness balanced by some lightly toasty malts. Piney hops, melon and a dry oak filled finish. One of the better Dogfish Head beers I have had in along time.
