Mar 29, 2008 Bottled 12\29\05: Poured a dark cloudy orange with a thin tan head. Aroma is very pleasant, it has hints of maple, oak, brown sugar, hops and dark fruit.
The flavor was extremely complex and had a unique sweet flavor to it, with notes of caramel, malt, hops, butterscotch, wine and a vanilla finish. I thought this beer was different from most I2PA’s and reminded me of a ASA or a BW. Very Easy drinking and smooth for 10%.

Mar 28, 2008 Reddish and clear in color...a very good smelling beer, too, with a peachy-type aroma. The taste was not very overwhelming, slightly on the thin side, in fact. I expected more bitterness and flavors of the wood intermingled. This was not bad, just not what I expected.

Mar 28, 2008 From a 12oz bottle pours a deep, transparent, copper amber color with a slight off white head that settled into a lasting ring. Aroma much like a typical IPA, citrus, pine but also heavy vanilla and oak. Flavor reminded me a lot of a barleywine, hop bitterness with a strong malt backing. Hints of biscuit, bourbon, vanilla and oak. Full bodied in the mouth with some lasting bitterness. Unique and tasty.

Mar 27, 2008 Copper colored beneath a thick and dense white head. Aroma of citrus, some tropical fruits and wood. Pleasant bitterness balanced by some lightly toasty malts. Piney hops, melon and a dry oak filled finish. One of the better Dogfish Head beers I have had in along time.

Mar 27, 2008 Lightly hazy amber with a two-finger head. Boozy, hoppy aroma with a good deal of toasted caramel. There’s a smooth cereal grain sweetness underneath it all. The flavor, which begins with a very nice toffee and wood flavor, finishes with more alcohol than hop. I’m guessing the oak has something to do with that. Could be toned down a smidgen, but I like it.

Mar 25, 2008 Burton passed a sugary-sweet baton here. Mildly disappointing that the oak apparently did not add much to this beer. The alcohol and IBUs are present, but I expected more from the label and price. Not a bad beer, but not DFs best effort. IPA-lovers/hopheads may be let down by this one........

Mar 25, 2008 12 oz bottle from G&G. Pours a brilliant copper with a half inch creamy head. Fruit and wood aroma. Not your average double ipa. Alot going on in this brew. Kind of pricey but a must try for all beer lovers.

Mar 24, 2008 There is the term as no such thing as bad beer. Well this is close. Something about oak and IPAs doesn’t fit with me. The beer has a harsh sting when swallowed. Tastes more like rubbing alchohol than an Imperial brew.
