Hercules Double IPA is not for the faint of heart. It is, however, fit for the gods. Hercules delivers a huge amount of hops from start to finish. Its hefty backbone of nutty, malty sweetness balances its aggressive hop profile.

Pours somewhat dizzy copper with a big slowly settling light beige head with lots of lacings. Aroma is tropically fruity, mango, overripped fruit overall, some honey and a tiny yeast tone. Taste is big and aggressive. Initially sweet and bitter on the palate, with candied sugar and a massive grape attack, tones of overriped fruit, orange, nut creme and honey, before finishing with a slight salty liquorice/salmiak tone and a looong lingering bitterness. Medium to big body, medium carbo with quite big bubbles which adds a freshness to this compact beer, oily texture. Very big and rough, yet balanced.

Tap at Brewdog, Sheffield. Hazy orange. Off white head. Thick, chewy, orange marmalade. Taste is thick sweetness, offset by a medicinal, grapefruit bitterness. Bitter finish builds, and lingers. Tasty gear.

355ml bottle from Brewdog online shop. Pours clear amber, thin white head. Aromas are resinous, thick hop funk, pine. Taste is chewy, sweet, but a big balancing bitterness. Oily mouthfeel, sticky finish. Good.

Botella de 33 cl tomada varias veces en el lúpulo y cimmeria. La ultima una tarde de 14 de septiembre de 2013 en llamas (((botella caducada de dos meses; presenta bastantes posos en suspensión durante un buen rato, y en cuanto a aromas y sabores no parece haberse achicado o perdido gran cosa))). Algo increíble lo buena que esta esta cerveza, una doble ipa fantástica con un color anaranjado intenso con tonos cobrizos y espuma blanca bastante persistente. Aromas intensos florales y resinosos, pino, con toques maltosos ligeramente dulces y caramelo. Sabores muy florales y lupulados ligeramente cítricos y resinosos a mas no poder. Cuerpo fuerte con 85 ibus y 10 maravillosos vol que se notan de principio a fin y hacen que se pueda estar un gran rato con esta cerveza. Buen paso por boca. Una gran cerveza para repetir y repetir en cuanto se pueda.
