Flying Dog: Double Dog Double Pale Ale (Imperial IPA) 11.5%

Drank From: bottle, poured into a tulip glass

This beer is interesting. I had it on tap and remember it being the predictable strong, syrupy style that you might expect from an imperial IPA. This time, however, it was awesome. It was sweet and more crisp than I remember, but it had a pretty heavy mouthfeel. I like the distinct bitterness; it tastes a lot like black walnut. It poured a nice peach color, and had about one finger of head, which is not bad for such a high ABV. This is, by far, the best and most drinkable imperial that I've had. Based on the taste and body, I could have another one...but that's just crazy.
