Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

18-20% ABV

As I pick up my goblet to take a sip, I hear an old Knight say, “You’ve chosen…wisely.”
This is mecca for beer lovers.  I know that technically it is a beer, but there is so much more to this beverage!  It drinks like a port or a brandy.  The aroma is very telling.  I smell hops, malt, alcohol, many layers.
The taste-There they are, hops galore!  But not in your face.  You can taste plenty of woody, citrusy hop flavor, but it is more than balanced out by the huge malt and alcohol.  This beer is sweet!  The hops and sweetness spiral together through your mouth giving you appropriately timed tastes of each, but the overall impression and finish is sweet. And it lingers.  My teeth taste good, my tongue tastes good, my lips taste good!  I don’t want this one to end.  I’m going out of state at the end of August, and I will return with more of this delicious contraband to put away in the cellar.  I think a 10 year old 120 would be amazing.
I have a note from Florida to Georgia here, “Please don’t change your beer laws.  We are making a killing!”
I’m just saying, I can’t buy an 18%ABV beer in Georgia, but I can get a bottle of 200 proof Golden Grain??? (Sorry, let me get this soap box out of your way.)
Anyway, loved the beer, go find it and buy more than one, so you can store some away.

Saaaalut!
