Commercial Description:
A hophead’s dream beer. This Imperial India Pale Ale has an opening salvo of mango, peach and citrus hop aromas that sit atop a pronounced caramel malt backbone. Although Dreadnaught is a strong and intensely hoppy ale, its complex flavors is both smooth and memorable. 9.5% ABV, 100 IBUs.

The best Double IPA PERIOD!!! Pours a very faint yellow with a very tiny head. Aroma of extreme hops and earthly tones. The flavor rushes in with some of the best hops I have ever tasted.

Thank you Mikkel for serving this hoppy bastard. First of all i want to give my respect to those guys who are making the labels for Three Floyds - You are doing a fantastic job... Bottle 75 cl. Pours all yellow moisty body with a fine thin white head. What a aroma..soooo hoppy with traces of fruity tee and winegums. The palate is so agressive with an overwhelming and expanding nature with a tickeling finish. In the flavour i taste dry and bitter flowering hops, fields of blooming flowers and som rusty iron. The finish is very bitter and the hoppy bitterness will stay in your throat for a long time.

bomber into sniffer. Great dark, hazzy copper/orange pour with a big creamy off-white head with a bit of a copper/orange tint. The fine carbonation bibles provide for great lace. Very rich and heavy aroma of citrus and pine hops coupled with a heavy doughy/caramel malt character. It almost smells more like an American barley wine than a IIPA. The flavor is perfectly balanced with doughy pale malt upfront, and a great juicy citrus (orange and grapefruit) character lingering behind, which works great with the malt. There is very little to no alcohol flavor and a nice resiny hop finish. This brew is hoppy, but not insanely so, yet it seems to have a perfect balance between flavoring and bittering hops. Creamy and coating on the palate with fine carbonation. Medium to heavy body - warming on the stomach. Overall: really a stunning brew. There is not much else to say.

Thanks to Honkeybra for introducing me to Binny’s. This is about it as far as Double IPAs. I guess I can die happy now.

Bomber thanks to EithCubes. Pours a cloudy orange color with a medium white head. The aroma is tons of grapefruit, some rich malts, and honey. The flavor of this is like a freshly cut grapefruit covered in honey with a side of fresh fruit. Some woody aspects too. A thick and creamy mouthfeel. There is a ton of flavor here, sweet and bitter, but very smooth, not notice of alcohol expect a nice warmth in the finish. Just amazing.

Bottled: Carried this guy all the way back to North Carolina! Delcious beer! Pours a hazy orange color with white lacing. Smells of fruit, mostly mango. Taste of hops and citrus. One of my favorite double IPAs!
