Decadent Imperial IPA

A strange herbal sweetness is my first taste. As it warmed, that mellowed into simple alcohol sweetness, which is quite pronounced, but not bad. As an IPA, this needs more hop bitterness and I wish flavor, but maybe that just isn't the style for a proper IPA. Definitely a cool looking bottle, and a big booze ale, but the hipster skeleton needs to drop that hop branch into the brew kettle! Making a wheat beer tonight that I plan to flavor with raspberry and possibly pomegranate. Once I get a baseline on that brew, I'm gonna try hoppin' it up like crazy! But I digress. This is a good beer, is improving my mood and probably getting me drunk, but needs more hops all around. ID
