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.

Bomber sampled at Butters’ 1500 / MmmcKay’s 200 tasting. Clear orange pour with good off white head. Nose is simply a wonderful boquet of floral hops that melds together beautifully in the flavor with honey and pine. Abv is very well hidden. Perfectly balanced. Phenominal.

Pours an off-white head with some lacing and a golden-amber body. Aromas of citrus and floral hops along with honey. Flavor is the same with a malt backbone to back it up. Finish is citrus, floral, and a little sticky.

Pours a medium orange with a medium white head. Aroma is very fresh with massive hops and light fruit, citrus. Flavor repeats with nice crisp fruit and hops all the way through. Dry finish. Full mouthfeel. Not quite Pliny The Elder, but still a world-class DIPA. Overall, excellent.

bottle thanks to Ughsmash! Pours a light carmel with a tall frothy light tan head. Citrus hop and grapefruit aromas with some pine resin notes. First sip is just a huge wow. This beer is so big on many levels. The malt is nice and bready, mildly sweet with toasted nut flavors and a carmel undertone. The hops are strong and pronounced but not over bearing, lots of pine and grapefruit with a nice linger in the finish. It’s still dry, but with a hop wollop on the back of the tongue. This is powerful stuff!

Great citric hop aroma, great color with nice thick head. Tremendous bitterness from the hops, but not overwhelming the malt.

Pours red amber with a thick off white head. Aroma is delicious citrusy hops with a perfect malty background. Flavor is strong caramel malt with a great hop finish. Very tasty.
