Lacking nothing, at ten percent alcohol by volume and 95 International Bitterness Units, the Decadent truly represents all that is self indulgent when it comes to drinking beer.

12 oz can poured into pint glass, thanks to Kyle for the brew.
A: pours a cloudy golden body, frothy one finger dull white foam head, heavy wisps of lace, carbonation
S: sweet malt, citrus, grapefruit rind, orange
M: medium heavy body, juicy finish
T: citrus fruit, orange, grapefruit pith, herbal earthy hop resin, some dankness, the herbal green hop resin lingers in the finish and sticks to the tongue
O: heavy hitter at 10%, this DIPA is an okay brew, heavy hops and the finish seems a little off balance

Pours a clear, electric orange with a two-finger, fluffy white head.
Candies citrus hop smell with some malt.
Very subdued hop for an imperial IPA. SOME DANKNESS and pepper spice. This one is 8 now old so probably not fair to rate.

Pours a clear honey orange with a full head that leaves great lacing. Smells like a peach with some citrus fruits in the background. Taste is sweet without much bitterness from the hops. Full mouthfeel with adequate carbonation. Overall an okay brew.

L-Orange colored..light white head and nice lacing as you drink.
S-Sweet fruits...peaches, sweetened grapefruit, some floral notes...caramel malts..
T-Sweet fruits and caramel malts. Kind of an old school DIPA in flavor. It does have a touch of bitterness on the finish.
F-Medium to full bodied. Lower carbonation. Drinks pretty easy. Has a touch of rum like booziness but is not sharp at all for the ABV.
O-Almost like a trip back in time with this DIPA. I like it. While not a great beer it is well made and enjoyable.

Pours with thick frothy and molded head - slow fading. Yellow amber color with slow rising micro bubbles of tiny love. Drinks like a smooth and silky DIPA with notes of citrus, clove and rich and sharp floral hops. Good IPA w/ Cory on Thanksgiving!
