look: 4.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5

Pours a amberish brown, cloudy as can be, a finger of a tanish head.

Smell is probably the biggest let down in this one, a little pine, citrus and a bready caramel malt, really a lot more faint then I would have thought for a 12% beer.

Taste is where is shines, full of resiny hops, citrus, floral, pine with a really nice malt backing, caramel, and a wee bit of a alcohol burn in the end.... Very faint though

Mouthfeel is more barleywine then DIPA, Very smooth, medium full, low-medium carbonation, finishes with a bittering dryness.

Well I got a 4 pack and decided to drink 2 fresh and 2 aged.... It may be hard but I hear this beer does wonders with some age... However it super fresh so maybe I will have to try to grab another 4 pack!

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25

Just picked up fresh from the bottle store. 12 oz bottle poured into a 12 oz Spiegelau snifter.

A: Opaque orange/amber body with off-white 1 finger head, good retention, some lacing.

S: Malty, a little grassy piney hops, not too aromatic though.

T: Some good piney hops with a strong malty backbone. Great bitterness throughout, definitely lingers. Unbelievably, not heat whatsoever.

M: Great smooth texture with moderate carbonation and a heavy, full body. Very nice.

O: A good, if not great, DIPA. Hides the ABV incredibly. Very easy drinking. I hear people put this down for a year, but I don't see it needing the aging... This tastes great fresh. I'm a fan. Looking forward to the rest of these!

Pours a murky medium brown with copper tones and a frothy half inch cream head that slowly dissipates, leaving sheets of lacing.

Resin, pine, grapefruit pith, mint, floral hops, and bready caramel malt form the initial aroma. There's a touch of sweetness.

Flavor is more citrus-based, with grapefruit, lime, and mango countering resiny bitterness. There's enough toasted malt to tie the hops together, but sweetness is subdued. Fresh cut grass and resin dominate the finish.

Body is moderate and a little slick, with carbonation a touch on the low side. Alcohol warmth is significant.

Interesting balance of resin and citrus hops. Fairly bitter, and lacking the sweetness siren in most examples of the style, which, for my palate, is a bit of a negative.

Sweet light malts, some fleshy fruit and spicy hop aroma. Flavor is similarly sweet and pretty sticky with an herbal hop note. Alchol is pretty well hidden with only the sweet fruitiness to indicate the 13%+ ABV. Not super hoppy, but probably better a couple weeks ago.

A: into a tulip, amber-brown beer with a sediment suspension, off-white head about a finger thick slid down into a sparse film and collar, some arms of lace stuck to the glass

S: rich malt base under pine and resin hops

T: great chewy pine, sticky with resin, and dark citric undertones suggestive of dark grapefruit sift through the big malt flavors of caramel and grain.

M: big on the palate, medium-to-heavy, bittering hops, slightly coating, slightly sticky

O: wonderful DIPA with a dark blend of pine and citrus and really big, bold malt. A real pleaser.

4.21/5  rDev +0.7%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

A - dark amber with some orange hues in the light; very nice, soft, foamy, dense off white head head that has good retention

S - booze, big sugary malts, some caramel, grapefruit, pineapple

T - bread, caramel, sugar, booze, some citrusy hops

M - warm, full bodied, a bit of booze in the finish

This is a really nice DIPA, but in my opinion it's probably closer to a barleywine. That being said, the malt character here is very delicious. It's bold and flavorful with a nice complexity. The hops are present and assertive, but tend to lend more balance than outright bitterness. The alcohol is heavy in the finish which may cover some of the hop character. I would definitely like to see how this beer ages. Ultimately, this is a really nice beer whether we call it a DIPA or a barleywine. A fan of either style should enjoy this beer. I'll definitely be buying more.

(Note: personal system uses whole numbers, rounding down e.g. no rounding up to 5)

2013 12oz bottle with no bottle date, poured into Bell's tulip glass and consumed today 3/6/13

Aroma: Really rich- full of floral, citrus hops that makes me think of mango and passion fruit. I also get a ton of sweetness that gives me toffee and honey. But otherwise I feel like I'm sniffing a hop cone! And that's what I'm looking for when I drink a big DIPA. (5)

Colour: Nice, cloudy dark amber body, pours with a 2cm white head that dissipates quickly, leaving a small film remniscent of oil on water. Lacing is decent but nothing to write home about. Best way to describe this beer is the color akin to apple cider. (4)

Flavour: Like the nose, it is really, really rich and full of flavour. It's really big on the floral hop tastes that give off an earthy flavor and makes me think I'm drinking some sort of sweet nectar; the sweetness comes from the bready malt which definitely makes itself well-known- lots of honey with hints of toffee. Very good! (4)

Mouthfeel: A medium-bodied, really well carbonated beer that coats the inside lining of my mouth in a way I would definitely describe as resinous. Any part of my mouth that comes into contact stings from the hop bitterness for minutes afterwards. If you're a massive hop head, this is what you're here for. I cannot tell that it is a 12% ABV brew. Dangerous! (4)

Overall: A hophead's wet cone dream. It's not a particularly balanced DIPA in that it integrates the hop and malt components well (like Pliny the Elder does), but it does bring incredibly strong hop and malt components both to the table. It's a really intense DIPA and you don't mess around with it. I think it beats out Hopslam, but the price point is even worse than Hopslam's ($16.99 for a 4pk in Madison WI). It's probably a beer worth trying once, and worth getting if you have something worth celebrating about, but it's not exactly a staple kind of beer. I think it's probably the finest representation of the intense, less-balanced type of DIPA you can find in the midwest. If you like a more balanced DIPA, go with Sucks or Pliny or something similar; if you want a hop blast with a lot of malty sweetness, this is it. (4)

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/19/2013. Pours lightly hazy reddish orange color with a 1 finger dense cream colored with with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Good spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of huge grapefruit, orange zest, orange rind, pineapple, caramel, pine, floral, grass, and floral earthiness; some slight alcohol as it warms. Fantastic aromas with great balance and complexity of hop notes; with great balance of malt that is not overdone at all. Taste of grapefruit, orange zest, pine, caramel, pineapple, orange rind, floral, grass, and floral earthiness. Fair amount of citrus and pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, citrus zest, pineapple, pine, caramel, floral, grass, and floral earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice balance and complexity of hop and malt flavors; with a near perfect balance of malt/bitterness; and zero cloying sweetness present after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a creamy, slightly slick, and sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is extremely well hidden with only a small warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a highly excellent and huge DIPA! Great balance and complexity of hop flavors with malt; and dangerously smooth to sip on. A highly enjoyable offering.

2013 bottle

Appearance: Amber, unfiltered with floaties everywhere. There's a 1/2 finger white head that quickly fades mostly to the perimeter.

Smell: Earthiness, solvents, adjuncts, some malt sweetness, faint hops, black pepper. Not overly aromatic and quite odd.

Taste: Malty, sugary and sweet, with some hop presence, though not overwhelming. This tastes way better than the nose would indicate. The booze is hid quite well, would love to see how this ages.

Mouthfeel: A bit chewy and coats the tongue nicely with ample carbonation.

Overall: A unique and interesting 2xIPA. Haven't had a Dark Horse brew that let me down yet.

Poured from bottle into tulip glass.

A: Golden amber, nice 2 finger white head, good lacing.

S: Smells like starburst meets the grassy hops combined into something wonderful.

T: Wow the smell transfers right into the taste. My mouth is watering.

M: Medium bodied, good carbonation.

O: I've had this beer twice now and its exactly as I remember it. It hides the 12% ABV very well. Its still a little hot fresh but not overpowering. The citrus and pines blend well here. Thank you Dark Horse for another solid offering!

on-tap at Dark Horse Brewery, thanks to my new friend Kevin from Detroit for buying a round :)

A - A deep orange color with a fine white head that settled to a thin ring. Solid patchy lacing.

S - Beautiful nose, orange, lemon, slight pine, crisp and clean.

T - Taste is similar tp the nose, candied orange flavor, smooth and boozy with a touch of pine towards the end.

M - Rich and dangerously smooth, no sense of the high abv ( 13% ). This one coul dbe dangerous. extremely drinkable.

O -Really nice DIPA, really well balanced, deserves to be mentioned along with some other top DIPA's like Dreadnaught, Pliny, Hopslam, etc. Can't believe this is the first time I have tried this. Really good on tap, picked up some bottles at the General Store, we'll see how that compares with on-tap at the Brewery.

poured into a Tulip... dont see a bottle on date (purchased in June 2012)

A: rust colored bodied, no head formation, big alcohol legs (as expected), no transparency

S: big sweet malt backbone , biscuit and with big grassy hops. there is just a slight touch of citrus in there as well. surprisingly, i do not pick up on any alcohol.

T: identical to the smell. strong sweet malt, caramel, biscuit, grassy hops and a touch of orange peel. again I really don't pick up on the alcohol. very light creaminess in the finish.

M: strong medium bodied brew, low carbonation, leaves a grassy hop feel with a touch of creaminess on the palate.

O: actually, a nice brew in my opinion. felt that this actually did get better after letting it sit for some time. I remember an overwhelming grassy hops the first time around (back in June/July 2012) and a lot more heat. There is no ABV presence here this time around and I pick up a more sweetness and a bit more caramel here. In fact, I think can 3-4 of these and be completely hammered but enjoy every one of these.

4.1/5  rDev -1.9%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

A: Pours out a burnt amber color that is a bit hazy. One finger of off white head. Spotty lacing on the way down.

S: Biscuit, orange, and mango.

T: Similar to the nose with a big toffee malt backbone. 98 IBUs but very smooth and not super bitter.

M: On the heavier side with a very oily mouthfeel. Carbonation is a little bit lighter than average for the style. With that, the ABV is also a lot higher than average for the style. This is a big beer. A good nightcap or after dinner beer because of it's big body.

O: I knew this was a special one. The packaging was very vague and it sort of "commanded respect". The bottle conveniently forgot to tell me that is was more than 13% abv, but it did tell me that there were 98 IBUs and it ages well. I guess what this beer lacks in complexity, it makes up for in originality. The only other beer that I can remember that is so full of hops but not a bitter mess is Heady Topper (not that the two can be compared). I plan on aging one and coming back to it maybe a year from now.

On tap at Tap & Barrel in Smithtown, NY: pours cloudy amber orange color with a 1 finger creamy white head that faded slowly and left very good spotty lacing.

Smells of orange peel, citrus hops, floral hops, tangerine, herbs, sweet malt, caramel, grains and light booze; sweet citrus notes dominate the nose and hides the ABV well while still keeping a fruity citrus nose overall.

Tastes of orange peel, citrus hops, lemon, mango, brown sugar, floral hops, tangerine, herbs, sweet malt, caramel, roasted grains, wheat and light booze; the sweet citrus notes and caramel get balance from the grains and mask the alcohol very well, making this surprisingly easy to drink. There is some mild heat, which is to be expected at this ABV, but it was more like strong hops that harsh alcohol heat.

Mouthfeel is very creamy and smooth, with very mild carbonation, a medium to heavy chewy body and a bitter finish that's got some grainy sweetness and trails off only slightly boozy.

A very impressive trick to cover up the high ABV and make this so drinkable, locking in good balance and complexities while remaining true to the style and finishing bitter. An very good beer overall and an above average DIPA. Seems like a hoppy Barleywine, but either way it was very tasty and one I’d seek out again. Extra credit for being easy to put down with knockout level ABV.

12oz bottle into a tulip

A: Pours a hazy dark amber/gold color with a finger of white head. The foam recedes to a thin film.

S: Strong citrus hops are supported by quite a bit of toffee and caramel sweetness. I get some pine as well, but mostly citrus and toffee. Quite nice.

T: Very sweet for a DIPA, there is a strong sweet toffee flavor with a nice spiciness to compliment. Quite a bit of hop bitterness keeps the beer balanced. This really tastes more like a Barleywine than it does a DIPA.

M: Quite thick for the style with rather high carbonation.

O: This is really more of a hoppy Barleywine than a DIPA, but it's quite nice. Sweet toffee, thick, with a great citrus hoppiness. I really enjoyed this.

Tried at the Local Taphouse in Sydney as part of their Dark Horse AleStars evening, along with a few other of their beers. This was my pick of the evening, however.

Pours a deep, crusty, clouded orange colour, with a fine white persistent head that eventually settles down to a thin ring. Has some very solid lace that forms in patches. Looks pretty good.

The nose is just gorgeous. Big, crisp, sharp orange brightness with a backing of sweet sherbet. Even a touch of fragrant rose, along with floral gin botanicals. It's that clean sweetness mingled with the sharp citric tang: candied peel, fresh lemonade. It's just gorgeous, and so, so pleasant. Love it.

Taste is similar: candied orange flavours, smooth sweetness that melds seamlessly with the sharpness. Spicy characters come forward towards the back, along with a bit of booze, but never enough to damage the smooth, pleasant finish. A touch of pine comes through to remind you it's a big IPA even still, but it's clean, bright and leafy—again reminding us of the fresh fragrance. By the end, the booze and citric melds into a warming character of kumquat liqueur.

Feel is chewy and rich, but clear and pleasant.

Wow. This is really good. For a beer that's over 13%ABV this is stupidly drinkable. This is a really, really good BIG IPA—I'm not sure I've had such a balanced and pleasant IPA this big. It's ridiculous, it shouldn't be possible. And yet here we are.

Pours a hazy, ruby orange. Slight cream head but no lacing when it recedes. A little bit of yeast hanging out at the bottom of the bottle.

I smell booze, very sweet malt and some pretty spicy hops to round it out.

The taste is quite sweet up front. I get cherries and something juicy that almost resembles a weak strawberry. Once the fruit fades, the sweetness of the malt backbone kicks in and then it's a double punch of burn, one from the alcohol and another from the palate bruising hops.

Really full bodied, and remarkably creamy. The carbonation has held up over the course of the last year. I'm surprised by how much I enjoy the mouthfeel on this one.

Overall, a great DIPA. The booze originally didn't seem like it was that powerful but it really does linger. There's plenty of malt in this one and I feel like it slightly overpowers the hops. Maybe that's just me. Either way, a great beer.

12 oz bottle, no date. But Dark Horse says this is only released in February. So probably 8 months old.

appears a rusty cloudy orangish color. off-white head, good head retention. smell is a little boozy , sweet malt and a bit of hopiness.

taste is bready sweet caramel malt backbone, with a lingering earthy hop aftertaste. medium body, a bit slick on the tongue. lower carbonation.

overall - nice, with the maltiness and the high abv, it's fairly close to an American-style barleywine.

Thanks MinnesotaRyan! Thrown in as extra in IP trade when I was in Minneapolis.
Pours cloudy with off-white head into nonic. One finger head. Clings to glass with no discernible pattern.
Floaties. LOTS of floaties. Obviously unfiltered.
Nose: boozy. Incredibly boozy.
Taste: boozy. Incredibly boozy. Hops? They're there but they are hidden by the booze. I like booze as much as the next guy but in an IIPA it would be nice if it was mellowed down a little IMO.
I like what the yeast adds to the mix of flavors. Mixes well to tame the booze. Overall, a very fun beer.
Aftertaste leaves a citrusy tang in the back of the palette hinting at the hops I should have tasted up front.
Would seek out if I get the chance.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

A: Pours a slightly hazy dark golden-orange with an almost light beige color of foam on top. Not a lot of head. There does look like a circus is going on inside the glass, though. Like a tornado. Looks thicker than I expected. Steady stream of bubbles shooting from the top. Super solid.

S: Hard not to smell this. Aroma strikes immediately and tough to hide from. Smells heavy. Malty. Biscuit malt. Not very hoppy, to be honest. Swirl around the glass a bit gives off a bit of piney hops. Even smells a bit boozy. The smell doesn't compare well to Hopslam or Hoptimum to me. But, the biscuit and caramel hops push this above average.

T: Super smooth slightly bitter finish stands out as being pretty special. Warm going down the throat, but I like that. Almost like a syrupy malt beverage going down. Some slight piney / grassy hops hit the tongue. Taste a lot better than it smells, to me. For a high abv DIPA that says it ages well on the label, the taste actually holds up pretty damn well. Taste really good for a sipping beer that's not barrel aged or imperial stout.

M: Medium carbonation which goes well with the thick body. Very buttery feel. Some chewiness that brings out the booze. Not picking up anything special here, but the buttery feel pushes this above average.

O: Give it a 4 overall. I aged this a bit because the bottle said I could. My expectations were low, and I'm pleasantly surprised. The appearance looked great. The taste, for a slightly aged DIPA, was really good. The smell and feel were kind of throwaways for me, which pushed the overall score down. Pretty good brew, though.

Reviewed from tasting notes.

Pours out a darker hazy orangish-amber with a two finger head lasting for a few minutes but only having minimal lacing qualities.

Smells mostly of citrus peel, (orange, lemon, AND grapefruit in relatively equal proportion) caramel, pine resin, and lesser amounts of toffee malt, a tiny whiff of woody herbals rounds it all out.

Tastes of juicy oranges and caramel, somewhat more emphasized woody herbals than the nose had, and a resinous extended finish. Tropical fruits appear at a relatively restrained level as the glass warms up.

Body is perhaps a tad too thick as it is on the heavier side of medium body with carbonation on the lighter side of medium strength.

The most interesting thing about this beer (aside from excellent balance and craftsmanship, I mean) is how the high ABV is almost completely masked. At no time at all was I able to detect any boozy hotness in either the nose or flavor. Dangerously delicious.

I enjoyed Double Crooked Tree on tap at the VIP room at Darkhorse on 8/11/2012. I literally got the bottom of the keg, but enjoyed it.

Poured a copper color into the tester glass, the sample gave a generous white head. The head was probably due to being the bottom of the keg. When the head faded, the malty aroma was apparent. The initial taste was a sweet malty flavor coupled with a muted level of citrus. Caramel, graham cracker, and orange notes all made appearances. The earthy grapefruit hops make a bigger impression in the aftertaste. Even as the thick mouthfeel allows the aftertaste to linger, citrus warms the back of the throat making the drinker salivate for more.

This not necessarily a balanced DIPA, but it is certainly enjoyable.

taste is slightly citrusy up front followed by a hoppy/pine/bitter grapefruit taste. sweet caramel taste is the backbone created by the malts.

Pours a murky orange color with a khaki head. Sweet caramel and toffee with sweet citrus, a bit of pine, pineapple, and maybe some booze, too. Definitely on the sweet side. The flavor is a bit boozier than I’d like. Citrus peel and pine give a pronounced bitterness. Toffee, bread, and toasted malt are all quite strong as well.
