Flavor

Palate rides the other direction with biting citrus flavors of grapefruit and lemon; ramping towards a grassy, dank finish. A taste of pepper and sage linger on the tongue. A high ABV of 9.2% asserts itself in the back end with a warming sensation of alcohol.

Mouthfeel

The feel is pretty smooth with a medium body and less-than-moderate carbonation.

Overall

The Wood Devil Double IPA does have some nice qualities, and at 101 IBUs, it does bring a hefty hoppy bite; however, that bitterness comes off a bit medicinal on the back end and its heavy-handed use of booze burns the back of the throat.
