Rogness Gigantophis Imperial IPA

Since you can't throw a rock without hitting a new upstart brewing company here in the Austin area, i never seem to be at a lack for different local beers to try out.  One of the newest, Rogness Brewing Company, has released an excellent IPA called Gigantophis.  It's delicious.  Unlike most IPA's that i've tried, where the hoppy flavors punch you in the mouth from the get go and then subside, leaving hints of sweetness, Gigantophis starts out sweet at first taste, and then the bitter hops come charging afterwards like the Calvary.  The bitterness lasts to the end, but the initial sweet flavor added with the pine and caramel aromas make for a very drinkable 9% ABV double IPA.  Well done sirs.
