Cigar City Brewing 110K + OT Batch 5

Cigar City Brewing 110K + OT Batch 5 is American Double/Imperial IPA, or as it’s called on the bottle an “ale brewed with curacao peel”. This is very sweet and malty for a DIPA, I might even call this a true DIPA/Barleywine hybrid. Lots and lots of luscious tropical fruits: guava, pineapple, mango, orange. I am in tropical fruit heaven! A bit of caramel (and fig?) as well with enough DIPA hop bitterness to give the beer balance, but similar to a great Barleywine the malty sweetness is just perfect. Clocking in at 11% ABV this is not to be taken lightly, go big or go home!
