Nov 17, 2009 Lightly hazy dark amber-caramel orange, off white foam, tight carbonation. Big floral and citrusy hop aroma with some spicy pine bite. Loads of fruit, caramel, sweet malt. Taste is sweet, fruity, then a wash of hops, citrus and pine, light alcohol thins the finish but overall this is a thick, slick almost oily beer.

Nov 16, 2009 Lots of hops in this one! Considering the high IBUs, though, I can say most of the bitterness is subdued. Hides the high gravity quite well. I wasn’t able to pick out distinct flavors as the various types of hops seem to disguise them. Will have to try this again.

Nov 14, 2009 0.355 l bottle from Alko. Amber color with small head. Sweet and hoppy aroma with lemon, raisins, toffee, almonds and warming alcohol. Bittersweet toffeish, nutty and hoppy flavor with firm lemony-piney hop flavor, raisins, brown sugar and almondy-nutty maltiness. Long hoppy and nutty finish. Hint of alcohol sharpness. Despite the strength not heavy at all. Interesting contrast between nutty maltiness and pungent hoppiness but I still like hop-forward IPA’s better.

Nov 7, 2009 Almost clear ambery orange color with huge, airy, off-white head. Lot of piney, lime peel-like citruses from the aroma.
Instant hop kick in the flavor. Massive amount of bittersweet grapefruity/pine resinous hops with some faint brown sugary malts.
Dry, almost everlasting hop resin in the finish. Medium body with lively carbonation and oily texture. Despite the high alcohol volume it’s very refreshing. Yummy!

Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Amber colour with a medium-sized white head. Hoppy aroma with notes of malt and grapefruit. The flavour is hops, grapefruit, pine, malt, toffee, bitter with some sweetness. Medium-bodied, finish is long, dry and bitter. Very good brew from Flying Dog.

Nov 5, 2009 12oz bottle vintage 09ii, they really dialed this batch! I’ve been a big fan of DD for many years but this batch might be their best yet. Awesome color, head and hop aroma. Very balanced and you would never know it was 11.5% until you downed a few :)
I would love to try this batch on tap.
However, the 09FF batch was TERRRIBLE!! I don’t know what they did but they went from their worst batch to their best back to back!
