Dogfish Head - 120 Minute (2003)

Too extreme to be called beer? Brewed to a colossal 45°P, boiled for a full 2 hours while being continually hopped with high alpha American hops, dry-hopped every day in a fermenter for a month, and aged for a month on whole leaf hops, 120 Minute IPA is by far the strongest IPA ever brewed. And at 18% ABV and 120 IBU’s, you can see why they call this the Holy Grail for Hopheads.

This post is for the 2003 vintage.

The ABV is 18.0 (21.0) and the IBU rating is 120
Style - Imperial IPA
Glass to use- Snifter, Tulip, Oversized Wine Glass
Delivery 12oz Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a cloudy dark brown color with no head. Clear coat lacing.
Aroma - Lots of dark fruit, peat, caramel and toffee.
Taste -  Malty, dark fruits like plums and raisins, chocolate, molasses, toffee and its really sweet. 
Mouth Feel - Low carbonation which is expected for an aged beer.  Syrupy.  Full bodied and smooth with a lingering slow burn as a finish.
Drinkable - Excellent!  8 years of aging did this brew well.  One of the best aged beers I have ever had.  Don't know the alcohol content due to aging, my guess is 21%.

This beer pairs well with bread and cheese.

This beer gets a Duper rating of A+.
