beer_name: Founders SZRP Of Doom
text: A - Very light shade of amber with hardly any head. The lacing was distinctive and prevalent. S - Alcohol, honey, and lemongrass. T - Vanilla, maple, smoky-malty-sugary something-or-other. This is dominated by sweetness certainly, but it's a complex and enjoyable combination of flavors. Unlike any other DIPA which I've had, the finish is really sweet - honey and lots of it - but after half a minute or so of sugary remnants on the tongue/in the throat, the hops sneak attack, resulting in a far longer, very bitter aftertaste. M - This is syzruzpy to the max. Heavy, sugary, and a decent amount of carbonation. D - Hmmm...I'm torn. This is ridiculously sweet, but the bitter back-end does an against-the-odds job of offsetting this. The high gravity does come into play, and I wouldn't recommend drinking too much of this. For what it is, though - an ultra-sweet DIPA - this is actually pretty drinkable. Founders likes maple syrup barrels. I like them throwing every style of beer they feel like into them. This is a very good beer, and I'm glad to have tried it. If you have the chance, this is worth a decent effort to sample - it's almost certainly dissimilar to anything you've had or will have.
