This brew, the Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA is in a class of its own, coming in at an astounding 21% alcohol. Calling it beer seems strange and unwelcome. This "beer" pours a golden brown/amber color with a quickly disappearing head. The smell is almost exactly as I expected from this hopped up brew: alcohol, hops, and a slight scent of honey. The taste is almost exactly as it smells with a sharp initial sensation of alcohol and hops but ending with a bittersweet honey flavor. I believe this would be a very good desert beer to have on its own or paired with something a little less intense to balance it out, it is very sweet and surprisingly smooth for having such a ridiculous amount of alcohol.
