Dugges Bollox!

Brewed by Dugges Ale & Porterbryggeri
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Mölndal, Sweden

Draft. A dark amber beer with a medium brownish head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of toffee and bisquits as well as grassy and grapefruity hop notes and hints of cinnamon. The flavor is sweet malty - a very complex flavor - with notes of toffee, bisquits, spices, hops - giving it a sharp citrusy and grapefruity note, and spices - especially cinnamon, leading to a dry bittter finish. Just a bit too much for my liking.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Slightly hazy dark reddish brown with a creamy and lacing yellowish/beige head. Fat and somewhat rustic hop aroma that isn’t completely pleasant - has an odd whiff of vegetables. Quite full-bodied with loads of caramel in the base and a somewhat dusty edge. Solid bitterness in the finish. But overall quite nice in spite of my complaints. 060608

From tap at Den Tatoverede Enke. Pours hazy orange/amber/brown with a lasting light brown head. The head leaves nice curtains on the glass as I drank it. Caramel and fruity hops makes out the aroma. Mouthfeel is soft and low carbonated. Caramel flavour with a fruity twist. Slight citric flavour blending nicely with a slight subdued sweetness. Finish is quite citric and bitter. Very nice.

Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm. Deep amber with rich creamy head. Strong hop aroma of grapefruit and lychee. Sweet and dense with clean caramely malt character and loads of perfumy lychee-like hops. Lightly roasty with lingering bitter finish. Surprisingly balanced. Extremely American style with it’s massive hop content and clean mouhfeel. A 1.9xIPA?

Draught, 8%. Soapy, citric aroma from the hops. Clear dark brown, chestnut colour. Creamy, very stable light brown head. The flavour is also soapy, a little perfumy. The hoppiness gets a little sour and rough in the finish. Seems a little green, I think I would enjoy it more after a year’s cellaring.

Draught@The Rover, Göteborg. Dark amber colour, creamy beige longlasting head. Aroma is flowery hops, some grass and a bit of fruits and yeastyness (?!?). Flavour is flowery hops, some fruityness and extreme grassyness. The grassyness was just too much for me...

Draught at den tatoverede enke. Clear orange coloured wth a creamy and lacing off white head. Light perfumed aroma of pine needles with notes of hops, caramel fruits and grape fruits. Flavour of fruits and pine needles with some sweetness and notes of hops and grape fruits. Dry hoppy finish. Very well balanced between aroma and bitter hops. Perhaps more a double IPA than an IPA, but very well balaced.
