120 Minute IPA - Dogfish Head Brewery

3.68/5  rDev -8.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

12 oz bottle.(2003) poured into a Kriek tulip.

Appearance - Poured an amber hue with good carbonation. I wasn't expecting so much carbonation from such a high ABV brew. Lacing was prolonged.
.
Smell - Citrus & floral notes with strong risings of alcohol...

Taste - Flavour was amazing balanced with bitterness & malt. Infact I was expecting more of a hop bomb, but perhaps after 4 years the hops have mellowed. Would have preferred more hop but maybe not possible given the heavy malt from the high ABV. Nevertheless a very good tasting DIPA.

Mouthfeel - Wow! Almost reminds me of drinking a single malt with that much malt. Alcohol is strong but not too hot.

Drinkability - Given its specs I was expecting an over the top DIPA but it much more subdued especially its hoppiness. Overall a good beer, not a great beer. Glad I tried it however.
