Mr. Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA
If this beer were a man...
...he would have a strong presence despite his calm and quiet demeanor . He would be fluent in 3 languages, but able to greet people and ask them about their day in half a dozen more, such that you find him simultaneously fascinating and intimidating. At first, you feel that you should choose your words carefully around him in an attempt to match his ability to articulate (in several different tongues). Self conscious of the fact that you can barely recall how to ask your Venezuelan co-worker how his weekend was (in Spanish), you are terrified of giving the impression that you also haven't entirely grasped the English language. As you get to know him, however, you realize that he finds your tangential conversational style and your often child-like giddiness and enthusiasm charming. Perhaps you are the yin to his yang, the outgoing to his reserved. And this is could be the beginning of a beautiful symbiotic relationship, each of your admiring the qualities that the other has always been embarrassed of, while challenging one another to step outside of that comfort zone.Who knows, maybe in time he will have you speaking Latin, and you will have him dancing like no one is watching whenever a Shakira song comes on over the loud speaker at the grocery store.
