120 Minute IPA (2016)

IPA - Imperial / Double

Too extreme to be called beer? Brewed to a colossal 45-degree plato, boiled for a full 2 hours while being continuously hopped with high-alpha American hops, then dry-hopped daily in the fermenter for a month & aged for nother month on whole-leaf hops!!! Our 120 Minute I.P.A. is by far the biggest I.P.A. ever brewed! At 20% abv and 120 ibus you can see why we call this beer THE HOLY GRAIL for hopheads!

I think I actually like it fresh. A bit of hop and alcohol bite. Like American barleywine. Some caramel mellowed into this.

Some heat from abv. Carmellly and slight toffee notes. Quite delicious.

Thank you John! Never had a 4 year old 120. It's a beast but so complex. Cereal malts, prune, date, caramel, brandy and toast.

Didn’t taste like an IPA at this point, was really good though, but with 6 ounces couldn’t place what it’s become. I don’t recommend letting it age any longer

Ages well - continually hopped over a 120 minute boil and then dry hopped for over a month. Enjoy now or age for a decade or so.

Found this one in the cellar. Actually bought this in Elmhurst, IL back in 2016 for a steal. Still hoppy but starting to turn more barley wine like. I have a few more left.

First time I had DF 120, you got a 2 oz pour at a packed Addison Flying Saucer. It was that popular and rare. A year later I was able to get a bottle of it for one of my final 200 for my plate. This glass was my first from FS. RIP Addison Flying Saucer.

Boozy and old. Like the dust of a bottle in grandpa's basement. Rich with homemade ketchup, pickled veggies and bath tub brandy. What once was a beer is now an alcoholic artifact.
