Double Dry-Hopped Black Double India Pale Ale.
A legend returns to the stage and turns it up to 11 as a power chord of modern hops amplifies the chorus of smooth dark malt and supple mouthfeel. A sevenfold arpeggio of harmonious hops hits high notes of fresh citrus, pine, and floral aroma before a clean, fierce finish. Cheer for an iconoclastic and charismatic IPA style, embodied by a hard-rocking Hero with stars in his eyes.

2/22/25 - (Can- Home) (Chicago, IL) Can Notes: Purchased at store temperature November 27, 2024 at Beer on the Wall Park Ridge for $4.55 including tax. Refrigerated upon returning home before opening this morning. 16 oz canned 11/5/24 @ 11:52:02 AM. 8.0% ABV Double Dry-Hopped Black Double India Pale Ale. Brewed by Revolution Beer LLC, 3340 W. Kedzie, Chicago, Illinois.
Appearance: Slow poured half of the can initially into a large tulip to yield creamy root beer float colored creamy generous head over a very dark near black chestnut brown base. Head continues to linger several minutes out and leaves generous clumpy lacing. 4.5
Aroma: Strong roast malt and pine flavors lead, caramel, toffee and citrus back. Medium plus strength, slightly higher in terms of enjoyment. 4.0
Taste: Hard to stop the initial several gulps, as this yields similar taste to the aroma. Definitely a strong roast malt and near milk chocolate with caramel base leading, the pine and citrus hop flavors more felt than tasted. Perhaps I waited to long to get to this, but enjoying what is in the glass. 4.0
Mouthfeel: Medium plus creamy body, drinks easier than the higher DDH 8.0% ABV vs. their OG version. Lightly prickly carbonation, lightly dry, balanced to bitter with the roast malt and heavy hop presence leading over the sweet taste components. Roast chocolate caramel finish. 4.25
Overall: This is a very good DDH version of Jukebox Hero. I believe I'm partial to the lower ABV OG version as is my typical preference for most beer styles, but this one is good. Will try to revisit a fresher version to see if it yields different results in the future. Glad to have tried this as usual with this brewery. Black Hops strong, though lets the malt shine. 4.25
