When we decided to resurrect the Big DIPA, we knew that we needed to make it bigger and better. We've brought the beer back with the same 10.5.

Bottle. Poured an orangish gold with a large white head that lasted and laced nicely. Aroma is full of hops giving a citrus aroma with a tropical kick. A bit of light fruit was in the aroma and some pine. There was a bit of an alcohol burn towards the end.

Clear dark copper with a tall, lasting, off-white head. Tropical fruit hop aroma. Melon & pine. Big full sweetness with the bitterness struggling to come out in the flavor. Some alcohol. Decent.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, caramel, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, caramel, bread, and malt. Thanks CaptainCougar for coming to Denmark and sharing this.

Bomber pours clear copper with 60 second tan head. The aroma is bold with pulsing pine hop goodness and some resin along with a bit of sweet malts and a touch of grapefruit hops. The taste begins with a pulse of malt sweetness that gets stomped out quickly by pine hop bitterness and pine hop flavor and some grassy – resiny bitterness. By about midway it smooths out with a second pulse of slick malt sweetness with increasing hop bitterness into the finish. It does seem like an American style barleywine

Bomber. Pours a darkish coppery brown with a sudsy beige head and aromas of caramel malt and pine & citrus hops... although a little on the underpowered side of things. I recently picked up four bombers of new-to-me double/imperial IPA’s, and this is number three. Of the three to date, this is the best. The body and flavor are not overwhelmingly syrupy, and maybe would classify as watery per the style. Still, the caramel and toffee malts seem to play nicely against the strong alcohol and hops. Things do get a little sticky at the end, but the sweetness has a nice darker side to it (not that annoying buttery sweetness). I liked this one quite a bit, especially considering the over-the-top bottles of the last few nights.
