Dugges Never mind the Bollox!

Brewed by Dugges Ale & Porterbryggeri
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Mölndal, Sweden

Draft at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. A hazy amber beer with a orangey head. The aroma sweet with notes of caramel and strong notes of hops, grass, and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of hops, grass, and grapefruit as well as medium notes of straw, and light notes of alcohol, which also leaves a slight burn in the mouth. The finish is very bitter. Nice one.

(On tap) Pours a clear, warm orangey brown with a dense, beige head. Has a somewhat strange and very intense herbal or even medicinal aroma and also some alcoholic cough syrup. Quite full-bodied with sweet, dried fruit, spices, sweetish burned caramel and again these cough syrup accents. Lightly bitter finish. A very different and not overly pleasant Double IPA. 200908

Draught at Bishop’s Arms North, Stockholm. Hazy ruby, small creamy head. Intense floral grapefruity hop aroma. Sweet and compact, medium bodied with fairly clean mouthfeel. Massive amounts of aromatic American hops gives salty viola, shampoo, lychee and grapefruit. The alcohol is well hidden, and the bitterness drowns in black currant and other hop aromatics. US West Coast style - and good!

Draught at Tre Små Rum, Göteborg
Beautiful amber color, with creamy head. It has a very nice hop aroma, fruity (sweet oranges), but also a pleasant trace of homebaked cookies, yeast and very light bread. Solid body, it has an excellent flavor, mixing sweet toffee and quality hop, quite fruity and partially resiny. The final is balanced (for such beer) and quite long. Excellent.

Cloudy deep red with large beige head. Hoppy aroma with notes of roasted malt, caramel and pine. Sweet and hoppy flavour with roasted malt, caramel, pine and citric notes. Ends bitter.
