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

Appearance: Orangish amber; very effervescent; huge frothy head, long lasting with good lacing

Aroma: Sweet malt with huge aroma of citrusy/piney hops

Taste: Up front you get hit with alcohol, and it stays with you; overpowering taste and warmth of the 11.5%; you can make out the citrus in the hops, though; finishes crisp and slightly dry/bitter

Remarks: Decent, but not great; definitely good for a buzz

Did not score A, T, S, M at that time; disregard those scores

12 oz bottle. some sort of coding. 247A13.

A: a rich amber hue. relatively clear. slightly off-white frothy head. retention is very foamy, but good.

S: smells like a little bit of oxidation going on here. hoppy, but definitely not a floral nose. a bit piney, but unfortunately the hop aroma is a bit muddied.

T: starts bitter than gets super chewy. plenty of caramel flavored grain. bitterness isn't just at the start, it is throughout the whole drink. sweet malts and bitter hops.

M: rich and viscous. full bodied for sure.

D: overall a tad unimpressive, just muddy and tired. a big bodied brew, but definitely not flying dog's best work.

12 oz bottle poured into pilsener glass.

A - One of the best looking beers I've seen. Dark amber, perhaps a fair amount darker than most DIPA's. A nice, thick head that kept itself almost the same size throghout. Lot's of carbonation rise visible, even when the beer was almost gone. Lot's of residual left behind.

S - Not unlike most IPA's. Could notice the alcohol a tad, but it wasn't unpleasant. Also noted some pineapple and perhaps lime. Of course, plenty of pine.

T - Whew!! This will add some hair to your chest! Lot's and lot's of hops. Almost juicy. Had a very slightly fruity taste as well. Noted the same fruits as noted in the aroma, as well as perhaps a bit of sourness. Outstanding.

F - Not bad. Might be a tad rough for those not used to a DIPA. Could feel some of the alcohol warmth. Carbonation felt good. Little dry going down, though.

O - A damn good DIPA. Not for the faint of heart. Lot's and lot's of hops and an 11.5% ABV leads to an intimidating, but damn good beer. Highly recommend this to any IPA and/or extreme beer fans.

4.24/5  rDev +7.3%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.25

Poured into snifter. Cloudy deep orange with a thin white head that fades quickly leaving a ring around the edge and some lacing. Smell is a bit boozy, spicy fruit hops with a clean malt in the background. Taste is sweet and fruity up front with hops slamming in and finishing bitter with warming alcohol. This is a big beer, definitely a sipper, but delicious.
