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...

Thankfully at every PIB Haandbryggeriet is there. This might be one of my favorite breweries. This beer was a nice IPA, that was a bit sweeter than many of its cousins, but still had an adequate bite for an IPA.

Bottle from Kahn’s Fine. Poured a cloudy copper color with a large frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy sweet Maris Otter aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. This is a very drinkable beer and went well with my salami wrap.

Pours a cloudy reddish amber with a one finger frothy yellow head. The nose is citrusy, fruity, mildly sweet, nice malty backbone, some musty character. The flavor has a citrus rind bitterness, sweet malt character, spicy, mild bitter bite, some herbal hops, tastes more like an IPA.

Cloudy orange amber with minimal head. Smells like gin and juice in a vase with flowers. Tastes less floral, more citrus, caramel, and charred earth.

Pours amber with a slight head. A somewhat sweet DIPA with a very strong malt backbone and hopping that lends more bitterness than citrus or floral flavors. Alcohol is quite well masked. This is a heavily-hopped IPA that seems to rely most heavily on European-style hops. An interesting change of pace from the piny, citrus West Coast style that is usually my cup of tea.

Brewed nov 07. BB nov 10. Hazy orange with a disappearing head. Aroma: Citrus, fruit, malt. A little alc too. Taste: The hop taste is not as strong as i remembered. Probably due to the 1½ years since breewing. It is pretty sweet, so it seems a little out of balance. Alc is a little to present to me.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange-amber (murky brown if the whole is poured in) with s small off-white/beige head. Sweet, fruity hop aroma. A bit like a bock, but with more a bit more hops. As it warms, the sweetness increases, becoming almost cloying. Flavour is bitter, sweet and fruity. Lots of body, but still somehow a bit thin. Plums. Bit of hops as it warms. Sweet, malty finish with a lingering medium bitterness (slightly liquorice-like) and notes of apple. Bit of hops as it warms here as well. Warming also brings out fruits (plums), and like the aroma it becomes a bit cloying. Overall a decent beer, although nothing special, and it feels more like a bock than an IIPA. Could do with a lot more hops. 01-07-09.
