Kryptonite Double IPA, Iron Hill Brewery
Description 

Brewed with more than twice the usual hops, this Double IPA is a hop hero of sorts. First, you'll taste notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and pine. Then, that craveable bitterness swoops in. So strong, so powerful, this beer might just be your, well, let's just say weakness.

The aroma is a complex amalgamation of vanilla, milk chocolate, coffee beans and fruit with just enough bready malt character to remind you that yes, this is actually a beer. The vanilla and coffee character develop even more in the flavor as it warms, and it lingers into a lightly sweet finish...
