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.

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.

Bottle @ Odense smagning, august 2009. Pours hazy orange with a small creamy head and lacings. Nose is deep... Lots of exotic fruits. Pine and orange. Smooth and crisp and with a lovely malty balance. Caramel, pine and grapefruit. Lovely

Bottle, thanks Josh. So we had this at a small tasting, and we might have done things a bit backwards, having this after the moylans hopsickle. Piny smooth and so drinkable, with delicious malts, very well balanced.Not a hop bomb, and not too sticky, but those are not bad things. What really stood out to me was just how sweet it is, with some bready notes. Finish had some bitterness, but the sweetness still hung in there. I would like to drink this more often.

Amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel and toffee with lots of grapefruit hops, and a hint of alcohol. Sweet caramel flavour with intense and complex hops, with citrus and pine dominating

bottle bonused to me by shawnm213! very crisp goldenrod pour with only light head that dissolves quickly. hop explosion aroma with a good bit of maltyness to it. a crisp sparkling green apple bite that fades nicely into a well balanced sweet and sour finish. not to syrupy, not to dry, great aftertaste and very smooth.
