Brewed by:
Dogfish Head Craft Brewery

Style | ABV
American Double / Imperial IPA | 9.00% ABV
I have been wating amost a year to try this beer. I have been nursing my Dogfish head beers and maybe that was a bad idea, but I am not real sure just yet. This beer poured a nice deep gold/orange color with about a 3/4 head. The first thing I noticed was the extreme malt profile. Very malty up front with a citrusy taste from the hops. I didn’t get the hop profile was was expecting. I was expecting a lot more bitterness at the end of each sip, but it was just missing. I blame this on the amount of malts used and the high alcohol. This beer does fit the style, but I wish it had more hops. I feel the 60 min IPA had more of a upfront hop profile. I would try this beer again, but next time I will know what to expect. I am also suspecting the 120 min to be on the “OMFGWTFBBQ” in terms of the flavor profile. Waiting so long to try it could have also affected the profile Dogfish head was trying to produce, so I will try to get a fresher sample and try again.
