Dogfish Head Squall Wood Aged, Unfiltered 90 min

Dogfish Head  Squall (Double IPA)  9%ABV, 750mL, Beer Advocate A-
A: Hazy honey copper color with a small off white head with strong retention.
S: Resiny Piney hops followed by a blast of caramel malt and finishes w/ citrusy lemon, floral and spice notes and boozy burn.  
T: Strong piney hops with a lesser citrus/tropical fruit hop characteristic followed by sweet caramel malts and hints of black pepper, eucalyptus, and warming from the high alcohol.
M:  Medium- Full bodied with moderate carbonation. This beer drinks remarkably smooth and almost creamy for a hoppy DIPA
D: Very drinkable for a hop head, but also a great sipping beer as the complexity and ABV make it perfect for a long conversation.
*Food Pairings: Bone Marrow, Stilton Sandwich, Brat Burger
