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!

Meh…just tastes like old boozy sugar water now. Not what I remember from fresh drinks of 120, or even younger bottles. Ages well?

Despite the suggestion on the label, this did NOT stand up well to aging

Hoppy strong and a bit aggressive. Thankfully doesn't leave a deep after taste but feels like a bourbon barrel age. Doesn't work quite as well for an IPA for me. Not for me

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.

We let her age a bit. Real thick pine notes kinda sticky. Surprisingly not much burn but strong alcohol after-bite with subtle sweet notes.

Happy 1/20 day. Couldn't think of a better way to celebrate today than by getting rid of some garbage (which some people absolutely love for some reason) that's been around since 2016

Imagine drawing a histogram of aging 120’s, this is on the far end. It’s in the “why the hell haven’t you had this yet?!” section. Still good, too malty.

Not a ton of flavor left on the front end. Some caramel and dates on the back end. Good carbonation and mouthfeel left on it

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

Check out that date, 4/8/16. Might have been better a year or so ago, boozy and sweet. Barleywine basically. No shocker I’m still going to drink it!

Hop bitterness have given way to sweet malty base. The fusel alcohol of fresh 120 minute has thankfully faded away. This might be the best 120 minute I’ve ever tasted

Bottled April 2016. Bourbon and water. Really loses the hoppiness with time. Less sweet, no more Manhattan. Like these better younger before oxidation
