Unlike the last post.. sometimes you want a kick-you-in-your-teeth strong beer and you actually do drink said beer. Time to fuck some palates up!
Sierra Nevada - Hoptimum Imperial IPA
a 10.4% ABV 100 IBU palate wrecking monster of a brew. A gorgeous golden copper pour and quickly dissipating head are a hallmark of this monster. And the nose.. holy hops. Dank, resinous, just pure hop juice. There's citrus, pine, sharp spicy hops.. also some tropical notes and overloads of caramel. This is like hops and weed had a baby in your nostrils. Amazing. It's a huge and strong beer.. thick and syrupy.. in the description they use whole hop cones.. well it's like they just squeezed out the essence of the hop. It's utterly bitter and fairly sweet for such a hoppy beer. Tons of pine and grapefruit in the body with a huge dose of malt that strains to hold it all together. There's caramel, toffee, and some rich bread. But seriously.. this is ALL ABOUT THE HOPS. The alcohol isn't that hidden as the beer warms a bit, but really.. who cares? Dear God this is so good. It's like Sixpoint's Resin on steroids. It's like mainlining pure hops.. it's just.. damn.
