Year of New Beer: Decadent Imperial IPA, Ska Brewing (CO)

Written By: Dion on 07/28/2013

Not nearly the hop presence I was expecting on the nose, as things actually lean much more toward caramel, brown sugar and toffee. On the tongue some grassy bitterness and pine resin finally comes forward with traces of citrus, and a warming alcohol that makes this seem similar to a barleywine rather than Double IPA. Not a bad beer, just not the hop kick I was expecting.
