Founders most complex, most innovative, most feared and yet most revered ale produced. Massive in complexity the huge malt character balances the insane amount of alpha's used to create this monster. More IBU's than any brewery has documented, more than you would believe and dry-hopped for twenty-six days straight with a combination of 10 hop varieties. Dangerously drinkable and deliciously evil. We dare you to dance with the Devil.

12 oz bottle from Walt!!! Nose of a Barleywine, caramel, raisins, brown sugar, with a hint of piney hops. Murky opaque brown with a small light beige head. Flavor is light bitterness, brown sugary sweetness, toffee, and a lingering bitter finish, more prominent than in the beginning! Too bad I can’t get this in CA!

courtesy of retorp. POurs dark amber with tan head. Aroma is loaded with caramel and light traces of hops. Taste, thick mouthfeel, superior malty presence all to the way to the finish, adding for some sugary notes. Light hops, very smooth and grainy. This is 13% and really didi not feel like it.

Bottle, 13%. Spicy hop aroma. Cloudy dark orange colour. The flavour starts off quite hoppy, grassy and grapey aroma hops. Turns quite sweet, almost syrupy. The bitterness is distinct, slightly rough.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy deep orange to amber with a fully gone head. Dense pinewood hoppy aroma. Solid sweet malty at first but with a very intense dark hoppy flavour following. Quite dominant and almost overempowering. Solid roasted caramel malt for base providing some decent counter balance to this.

Bottle thanks to mibirder. Doesn’t taste anywhere close to 200+ IBU, maybe an old bottle, but very sedated hops (maybe 80 IBU). Pours a hazed red color with a very small off-white head. Aroma of dough, molasses and caramel, painfully...nearly absent of hops. Taste is a very malt strong IIPA, nearly barely wine taste. Carmel up front and only a bit bitter in the finish. Syrupy mouthfeel with light carbonation.

Bottle..very slightly cloudy red-tinged deep amber...smattering off beige head....orgasmic scents consisting of sweet aromatic malts....deep malt infused citrus....and a bready smell towards the end of this perfect inhale--its hard to get away from this aroma to taste, but here I go.....Quite viscous...sweet with citrus that is malt drenched....I get a little saltiness from the alcohol...I must say this beer is near perfection for me....positively ridiculously easy to drink for the % that it is...sticky on the lips, and the lacing that has decided to stick on the glass, has stuck

12 oz bottle. Pours deep red with a tiny light tan head. Aroma is pretty much pure grapefruit hops. Flavor is bitter hops and fairly strong citrus/grapefruit hops, some more grassy hops and a little caramel sweetness. The bitterness builds up pretty strongly after just a couple of sips. Alcohol is hardly noticeable except for a bit of burn in the finish. This is very well done. I do, however, question why RateBeer’s description above gives 200+ IBUs while the Founders website only claims 112 IBUs.
