The Return Of Dogfish Head!!!!!
Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA 12oz
I’ve been waiting for this one to come back for some time. This 20% IPA had hops added to it continually for 120 minutes then it was dry hopped every single day for a month. What does this do to a beer? It makes it the biggest hop monster on the planet. The aroma is big flowery, grassy grapefruit hop extravaganza with a bit of sweet fruitiness to boot. The flavor is like chewing on a sweet juicy hop cone. Sweet malt with grape like fruitiness along with a grassy hop flavor and a spicy alcohol hit. When it comes to excess no one does it like Dogfish Head.
Dogfish Head Olde School 12 oz
This 15% Barley Wine pours deep amber / copper in color. The head is thin but tight. The aroma is of caramel and toffee with a whiff of sweet fruit. The thick body goes down ultra smooth and kind of coats on the way down. The flavor is of dark fruit, apricot and sweet malty goodness. The alcohol is spicy and does make itself known there at the end but at 15% I suppose that can not be helped.
Dogfish Head Raison d'Extra 12 oz
An amped-up version of the Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre, this beer is brewed with a crazy amount of brown suguar, raisins and malt.
ABV 21% 20 IBU
Dogfish Head World Wide Stout 12 oz
At 18% makes this the strongest dark beer in the world. A very heavy, thick, sweet stout that has a very big roasty flavor and a hop presence that is not shy. This beer has tons of flavor but needs to be served cold. At cooler temperatures it is easy to enjoy all of the sweet roasty goodness, when it warms up a bit the 18% starts to get in the way of this very enjoyable beer. Just make sure and sit down first then open this beer.
