Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

Do you remember the old MTV video show "120 Minutes?"  I loved it.  It was the perfect thing to end a week with on Sunday night.  It was my ritual through my junior high and high school days way back in the mythical decade of the 90's, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the 120 Minute IPA from Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales.  Unlike a regular IPA, this one is boiled for two hours (hence the 120 minutes) and then dry hopped as it ferments over the course of a couple of months.  From there, the brew ages, and begins to develop so sweet, almost sherry-like qualities.  Don't misunderstand, the hop flavors and aromas are still there, and still intense, but the bitterness subsides a little, and some sweet and floral tastes and smells work their way through the beer.  It's fantastic.  If you're a hophead, you'll love it.  And, the ABV generally ranges from 18%-25%, so that's always a good time as well.  Finally, a new 120 minute ritual for my Sunday nights.  Cheers.
