Commercial Description:
Dobbel Dose or Dobbel Dram is a double IPA made with european style hops rather than US hops. This beer is also heavily dryhopped in the aging tank for the extra hop taste and aroma.<br /> 9% alc. 82 ibu and 22 ebc. Made from Maris Otter malt, wheat malt and Crystal.<br />Serve at 10-12C or 50-55F. Goes well with spicy food and grilled meat. American Bottle Label -- "Double Dram" is made with more of everything, including all the hops the Hand Brewery’s tiny brew-kettle can take. Feisty American hops for bittering are followed by noble Fuggles and Styrian Goldings for a spicy, flowery aroma. As tradition dictates, this is an exceptionally hardy brew, made to weather the long, hard ocean voyage to anywhere...

Pours a muddy brown with small tan head. Hoppy light roast nose. Flavor has a good citrus start followed by a bite of alcohol. Nice roasted malt that backs down the hops. Good warmth from the higher alcohol.

Bottled. A hazy reddish beer with a bubbly orangey head. The aroma has notes of over ripe fruits, fresh citrus, malt, and a bit of alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of over ripe fruits, grapefruity hops, and other citrus fruits, as well as some notes of nuts, caramel, and wood, leading to a very bitter finish. Hm - maybe not my favorite hops?

Bottle, 50cl, from Vinmonopolet, Oslo. Batch 206, BB 20.1.2012. Hazy amber colour, medium head that settles to a fine persistent lacing. Aroma of citrus, pine, ripe fruit and malt. Fizzy/sticky mouthfeel. Fruity flavour with pine, then a concentrated dry, hoppy taste where the 9% ABV can be felt. Less lasting bitterness than might be expected from a double IPA.

A clear dark orange colored beer, with a thick white head. Th e aroma is malty with fruits and ginger. The taste is sweet a little sticky. Some bitter in the back with alcohol. The aftertaste is bitter with a little sweet.

The aroma greets you with fresh fruity and spicy notes tinged with alcohol. The first sip prickles on the tongue with more European than American/British hop notes, and a fruity rather than bitter and spicy taste predominates. The palate lingers with dry bitterness but is not as pronounced as the initial taste. A nice DIPA as far as I am concerned.

Oh, happy day! The combination of the beautiful orange amber colour, foamy head and the smell of fresh oranges and grain, with a hint of moist straw, reminds me of spring. The first happy days when the sun starts to warm your face after a long dark winter. The flavour is rounded, a mix newly juiced oranges, flowers and ginger. After the beer session 2.apr.09 I rushed to Vinmonopolet, Langnes to buy some more. (Thank you, Rune!)

I really like this beer. The first one I had, I sunk so quickly that didn’t even get a chance to rate it. So second time round I’m ready to pick it a part a bit. It looks the business for sure, wanted to give it a 5 almost, but settled on a 4, cloudy orange colour with massive expanding dense beige head. Aroma is full of pine, dried fruits, apricot, wild strawbs, nectarine, with a good whack of earthiness and mineral aromas, but a really unique characteristic is the familiarity of the aromas and flavours, quite UK in style, but I hate to say it, 5 times better in depth. Flavour is spot on, really silky, good balance between richness and bitterness, with a lovely just off dry quality balanced by the resdual sweetness from the alcohol.
