Commercial Description:
The elusive brew is made from pilsner malt and amber malt with an original gravity of 26.5?P, yielding an 11% abv. It's hopped with Warrior and Glacier varieties. Primary fermentation takes place in open vessels using two yeast strains, one American and one English. For added complexity, the beer is conditioned on barrel staves of French Oak for four months before being dry hopped with Glacier at the rate of a half-pound per barrel. This elixir is then blended 50/50 with 90 Minute IPA. After blending, the beer will measure 80 IBU and 10% abv. Bottled in corked bottles through Michael Jackson’s rare beer club by late November 04 and available in 12 ounce full distribution in early January 05.

nose is of extreme oak and alcohol, it even smells syrupy. the flavor rings true to that characteristic and after a sip the nose intensifies. intense warmth off this one, the oaked character seems to have brought the alcohol to the forefront. somehow, its not intolerable at all though. nice dark color typical for the style, fruit (even dark/dried) is at a minimum, wood and booze at a maximum along with hops of course in full force. the sharp bitterness youd expect doesnt come through like a boring old american over hopped IIPA. this has alot of character and intregue, this is my 2nd sample and this one is aged close to 2 years, a wonderous brew that enjoys warmth and provides it as well.

12oz bottle from new beer distributors in manhattan. hazy orange pour with thin off-white head that disappears quickly. aroma is doughy, peach, honey, spices and caramel. whoa - taste not what I was expecting... sticky sweat caramel candy and bourbon (maybe). not much bitter presence at all. nice warmth. definitely complex and more going on than I’ve described here. just doesn’t appeal to my tastes. it does pair well with chocolate and peanut butter oatmeal cookies... if that exact same scenario happens to come up for anybody else.

12 oz bottle...amber pour, small head. aroma of strong malt, cider, maple syrup and some hops. Flavor is malty, booozy, honey and some nice hops. I taste the wood and is less hoppy that I would have expected. very nice.

Pours a milky amber color. Nice lacy ring around the now diminished head. There is a very small amount of sedement floating around in this one. The aroma is extremely subtle. Tastes of oak with a dry finish. There is a bit of a fruity aftertaste, very nice. i will drink this one again.
