Ottos Double D IPA

Brewed by Ottos Pub & Brewery
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
State College, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle from jpjuart.Hazy amber color with full head that leaves fast. Aroma of lite fruity hops, resin, bitter hops, and WEED.Thick body on this beer with the mouthful being the same. Lite sweetness with good malt backbone. Rich,sticky, WEED/hop like finish. Not a bad brew, solid.

Courtesy SoLan. Cloudy, dark reddish-brown amber body. Small collection of mega-bubbles on one side of the head, and a wispy film on the other. Minimal spotty lacing. The aroma shows intensely sharp grapefruit and orange hops up front. As it warms, the nose softens up a bit, showing rich, buttery caramel and toffee malts. The flavor is a lesson in extremes. Big, malty caramel and brazen citrus hops battle for supremacy. There is, however, a bit of a strange, grainy wheat flavor that just seems to be out of place and disruptive. This odd characteristic intensifies on the finish, which is long, dry and bitter. Medium-full bodied and slightly syrupy. Overall, big and powerful, yet somewhat strange at the same time.

22oz bottle thanks to mj for this. pours murky red with white head. hop aroma is bubblegum and fruit punch. very juicy hop aroma with some sweet alcohol and caramel. flavor is sweet orange, passion fruit, over ripe plums, brown sugar, and cookie finish. smooth body and alcohol is well hidden. this really reminded me of Hoppin Frog Mean Mean Manalishi,which i recently had, as this also seems more like an imperial red. tasty stuff, but nothing special.

Bonus points for the label. Reddish orange, with a decent sized head. Eggshell? ecru? I’m tired of beige, I need a new description for "off-white". Anyway, It smells very hoppy - grapefruit, mostly, but also a whiff of cinnamon. Very pungent hop flavor, citrusy again, and a long sticky aftertaste. I liked it. Thanks to tronraner for sharing this one at the tasting.

Bomber shared at a tasting. Pours a red-orange hue with a small head. Good use of hops in the aroma with lots of pine, fresh spices, leaves, and pot. There is a bit of citrus, but it takes a backseat. I found the flavor exhibited great balance. The malts are not too sweet or sticky, but accentuate the little grapefruit that is here. Lot of pine, garlic, pot, and herbal notes abound, making a semi dry finish. This is a rather tasty IIPA.

22oz bottle shared courtesy fo kramer17801. Poured a deeper amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, grapefruit, oranges, and caramel. Tastes of caramel, orange peels, grapefruit, and pine. Nice balance.

Pours a translucent orange amber with a small bubbly off white head. Aroma of caramel, pine and mixed citrus. Flavor of pine, grapefruit, caramel and a bit earthy.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours hazy copper with rocky, ivory head. The aroma is strong citrus hops- rather orangey, with some faint resiny ganja notes, guava, and distant biscuit. The flavor is very orangey with a good hop kick right up front, some pine right after. Toasty malt hides behind all the hops. Nice, dry finish.
