Laughing Dog Dogzilla Black IPA

Brewed by Laughing Dog Brewing
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Ponderay, Idaho USA

Predictably black pour with a huge tan head. Aroma is hoppy but has a big hit of malts. Flavor is smooth and nicely hopped and the malt come though very strong. Overall very good beer.

Bomber from the Boise Co-op. Pours out a really nice dark color with a huge thick tan head. The aroma is a rich skunky citrus hop (I mean skunky in the sense of being like weed, not off), toasted malts. A sweet flavor; light citrus and especially orange hops, toasted malts, light bitter and soapy finish. Drinkable and pretty nice. A nice mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours all but black with a huge tan head. Aroma of hops. Flavor is hoppy with some fruit flavors and a sweet bitterness. Good mouthfeel. Good beer.

Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Almost black color with a reddish tint. The aromas of coffee, toffe and fruity, berryish and orangey hops. Bittersweet flavof with berries, coffee, caramel, toffee and orange. Full bodied. Tasty and original. Interesting malt-hop contrast with berryish hoppiness.

Pours a dark cloudy copper with huge fluffy head that leaves lacing - faint floral hop aroma - slightly bitter on the palate with a medium body - good brew!

Thin dark brown pour. Very thick fluffy head. The bottle overflowed with foam. Grainy aroma loaded with bitter hops. Bitter crisp flavor. Some slight roast. Eh.

I like this kind of beer. Avery made a really good porter by sticking a lot of hops in a dark beer. I think it’s as good an idea as any other. This was quite nice. Not a lot more to say, however, than it tasted like a hoppy dark ale.

Pours a deep dark chestnut brown color that is comletely opaque with light mahogany edges when held to a light source and a two finger pillowy, frothy light beige head tht seems to last forever. Lingering thicj cap that leaves chunks of soapy lacing. Aroma has a good amount of earthy and floral hops that are countered by a roasted chocolate malt presence with hints of toffee, hazelnut and caramel. Slightly smokey making or a strange combination of earthy, floral and citris hops along with rosted dark malt notes. Very bitter dry piney hops up front that are quickly countered by a very strong buttery toffee presence. There is a strong dark caramel and chocolate malt backbone with hints of dark fruit, mostly sour cherries and dark berries. It really does taste like a very biter chocolate covered chrry. Very odd and unpleasant combination of flavors. The bitterness lingers thorughout but the strange malt backbone is very rominent and the whole beer is a bit of a mess. Not a fan.
