I had the 2008 120 Minute IPA and 2008 Immort Ale. This review is for the January 2008 120 Minute IPA. (Date printed on the bottle).
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.
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. Ah Men.
The Pour - Pours a copper color with no head. Some lacing.
Aroma - Lots of dark fruit and malty.
Taste - Taste like it smells and you can taste the alcohol. Also get caramel, its pretty sweet.
Mouth Feel - Not too much carbonation which is expected for an aged beer. Syrupy. Full bodied and a smooth finish.
Drinkable - Very good. I love aged big beers. 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+.
BeerAdvocate Rating =B+
Ratebeer Rating = 99
