Commercial Description:
Commercial Description: Part of our limited release high gravity series celebrating our twentieth anniversary (1989 to 2009) Double Dread Imperial Red (An American Strong Ale) is a high gravity red ale brewed with Two-Row Pale Malt, complimented by Aromatic and Wheat malts and a blend of CaraMunich, Carastan and Crystal malts for color, complexity and flavor. Fermented with our signature ale yeast, this hop bomb of a red ale is bittered with Colombus and Cascade hops, flavor and aromatics are enhanced by Cascade, Chinook and Amarillo, then generously dry-hopped with a tri-fecta of Cascade, Amarillo and Chinook for zesty citrus aromatics and a resinous flavor explosion. For those who chose to indulge their courtly passions be forwarned that this royal ruby refreshment ferments out at 8.6% a.b.v and nears triple digit IBU’s

12 oz. Mostly clear copper-brown with a lasting quarter-inch of head. Nose is chocolate, dried wood, grapefruit, caramel, vanilla, and resin. Flavor is caramel, resin, grapefruit, oak, whiskey barrel, vanilla. Nice finish of oak and citrus. Near-medium body is a nice drinkable balance of watery vs. sticky, and finishes dry.

Bottle thanks to cavie. Pours a VERY nice looking amber/red with beige head. Aroma is of forward pine, some notes of caramel. Flavor of loads of pine, some fruit, little malt, faint caramel. Mouth feel is medium body with medium carbonation. Overall, not a bad IPA....

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Hazy copper colour, fair sized head. Roasty perfumy nose. Mid-sweet with clean, vital body. Roasty and salty, very hoppy, notes of tangerine. Strong but unassaulting bitterness. Somehow condensing what’s good about US microbrewing.
