Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA

There are only two words that come to mind when explaining this beer: DEAR GOD! This was one of the craziest, out of control, and complicating beers that have ever crossed paths with these taste buds. The beer tasted as if some one had lit a fire in my mouth with a torch, then doused my face with pure cane sugar to put the flames out, then bandaged the wounds with fifty pounds of hops. They call it the hoppiest of all hoppsters on the bottle for a reason. I checked out Dogfish Head's website to see what they had to say about this beer of all beers, and it claimed to have crowded the wort with as much hops as possible during the TWO HOUR BOIL, then put in new hops every day for a month while fermenting. That's not even the craziest part. Are you ready for the crazy part? Are you sure? 100%? The ABV is 20%. 20 freaking percent. Needless to say, I was the most hammered from this one beer than I have been from any other type of beer.

As to an actual break down of the beer, again it was immensely unique from the first sniff. The intense floral smell was hint number one I was going to have an experience like I've never had before. It was a dark bronze with a creamy white head that was as thick as a head of a Guinness. The beautiful hoppy bitterness was incredibly intense, yet very short lived as the malt and sugars dominate as it goes down smoothly. Yet, at the end it leaves a hint of hops resting gently on the top of your tongue just to say, "yeah, I just rocked your shit."

Buyer beware, this is no ordinary beer. It's tough to find (they only release it three times a year), and it's one hell of a ride.
