Speakeasy Double Daddy IPA

Brewed by Speakeasy Ales and Lagers
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
San Francisco, California USA

A full on hops assault. Aroma of hops. Pour was a dark gold with no head. Very thick. Looks like that liquid in those toys that you move back and forth and looks like its going in slow motion. You could probably drop a penny in the glass and it will stay on top of the beer. Taste was strong hops with a little malt in the aftertaste. Heavy burn from both the alcohol and hops.Not much carbonation which was disappointing. Overall pretty good.

Nice smooth flavor and complex after taste. The eyes on the bottle are sweet too haha

Pours golden orange, lightly misty body. Aroma of sweet mango, white cake and brown sugar. Leafy green spices and alcohol nip on the edges. Flavor projects a massive citrus and pine oil shout, with brutish fusel alcohol fully suffusing it. Middle of burnt toffee. Thoroughly predictable, although the brightness of the orange and pineapple sweetness manages to shine with an almost convincing strength. Finishes with a pungent peat-like barrel note, and a coating of bitter rind. This bitterness is crisp and lovely, and the alcohol resigns itself progressively with warmth. Firm in the mouth, with an unsettling medicinal posture. Fairly well-made, though a somewhat rambling and disoriented example.

Nice hazy amber body with a beige head.. Pine cone and alcohol aroma. Alcoholic flavor with a dry mild bitter finish. Thanks to vyvvy for the bottle.

Carmel malts, very hoppy, not much alchohol taste (which is good since it’s at 9.5) Mine had little flakes of sediment floating, which ruined the appearance. Other than that, a very fine IPA. Piney AND Citrusey!

Pours a cloudy, amber color with a white head. Aroma is of huge citrus and pine hops, caramel, and sweet malts. Aroma seems quite balanced. Flavor is huge citrus and pine hop right away with a decent background of sweet malts and caramel. Has a bitter finish with some slight alcohol warming. Overall pretty good and very well balanced.

Hazy amber. Big piney, orangey hop aroma with depth of caramelly malts. The flavour shows a remarkable sense of balance - rich bitterness with just a hint of resininess, chewy malt that stays just this side of cloying, and enough bright hop notes (orange, lemon, canteloupe) to add punch.

Surprised at the lack of aroma for a double IPA. Taste is very unbalanced, malts overwhelm any hops and the alcohol is not masked very well. Not a big fan of this double IPA, needs some work.
