We brew 120 Minute IPA a few times a year, but it goes fast. If you find some grab a few bottles -- some to enjoy and some to age.

Rating #2800! "Bottled on 3/3/06" No more sense holding on to this any longer. Big syrupy malt smell under the cap, usual for an older cellar beer. (Ahh! Just saved the glass from being accidentally knocked over! Tragedy averted!). A lot of maple sugar in the nose. Ruddy brown color, poured with very little head. Taste has more maple syrup to it. Very little hop left to this, which is not a surprise. Makes up for it with plenty of sherry and alcohol, and no oxidation. Some bitterness in the back of the tongue helps keep the brew from getting too sweet. So, not the hop bomb that a fresher version of this might be, but it has developed enough character to remain worth saving for 8 years. Good luck me getting hold of a fresh bottle of this for comparison, but not to worry, I have a 2006 90 Minute IPA left to check against some 2012’s I got at $3 a 4-pack. And therein lies a tale…
