Bottle drank onsite at Dogfish Head Brewings and Eats in Rehoboth Beach, DE.

This one pours a golden reddish brown color, with a small head, and no lacing.

This smells like caramel, stone fruit, grape, chocolate, leather, tobacco, oak, bourbon, and maple.

This tastes basically nothing like regular 120 Minute IPA, and that's an absolute benefit. There's no hop character left, and I don't think this was dry hopped once it left the barrels after 20 months. It's got such a wonderfully sticky malt character, with maple, molasses, black cherry, grape, chocolate, oak spice, rye, breadiness, and bourbon. I honestly hate regular 120 Minute, and this feels like an entirely different beer to me.

This is medium bodied, with a lower level of carbonation, and a nice sticky sweet feel to it. There's really not all that much booze to it, which is fascinating.

This is one of the best Dogfish Head beers that I've had so far. The gulf between this and the base beer is mind-boggingly enormous.
