Hey,
A couple of days ago I had my first Founders Brewing Co. Devil Dancer. It's a Triple IPA, packing quite a punch @ 13% ABV!!! It is dry-hopped for 26 day with 10 different varieties of hops (From BA)!!!
I decided to pair it up with a Carlos Torano 1916...
Appearance - This beer pours a beautiful cherry amber color. Not a ton of head, and pretty minimal lacing.
Smell - The first thing I figured I'd be smelling was overpowering hops, but no... Roasted caramel maltiness. The hops are there for sure though. Boy, you can smell the "13% abv"!!!
Taste - IMO, this beer is very well balanced between the hops and the maltiness. It reminds me very much of a Barleywine! The alcohol creates a nice warming!
Mouthfeel - I'd say this beer is pretty full bodied, not a ton of carbonation.
Drinkability - Goes down very easy, but you probably don't want to drink more than one or two. A sipping beer for sure!!!
Go easy on the review fellas... I'm still a "NEWB"!!!
Overall I'd say... WOW this beer is near the top of my all time favorites... And of course, not be found around these parts!!!
Cheers!!!
