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.

(12oz bottle). Nice copper color. The initial sweetness lingers on the lips but the hops fall a little flat for an IPA. Still, its a nice beer and it hides it’s alcohol content well.

12 oz bottle. 4 pack. Pours a lovely peach/amber color with a small offwhite head. Spotty rings of lace. Strong citrus hop aroma with a caramel malt background. Full palate with some real pucker power. Flavor is a bit sweet, but bitter at the same time. Powerful grapefruit hop flavor mellowed with caramel malt and a subtle wood/earth tone. Long bitter finish.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels. Pours a very nice looking deep, clear amber with off-white creamy head. Aroma is very nice, some grapefruit, sweet caramel, sweet grain. Flavor is very much the same, sweet, grapefruit, strong malt and caramel, nice grapefruit, piney bitter. Mouth feel is heavy body with low-medium carbonation. Overall, This is a great sipper for the colder months.....I like alot!

[bottle] Interesting aroma of oxidized malt cardboard and aged hops. Clear bronze covered by a lasting white blanket. Salty pine and citrus hops together with a nice caramel malt. Lemon and white grape notes. Medium body, medium carbonation, slightly bitter finish.

Really really interesting IPA. Rolling this around in your mouth really allows you to find all of the corners of flavor. I couldn’t quite put my tongue on it, but it seemed like wine for moments. It warms you up and delivers a very nice hop experience. The only drawback is that it is a little boozy tasting.

Very well balanced Double IPA. Pours dark golden with a white head. The oak flavor is present on the end of the palate. The oak flavor balances with piney hop taste to reduce the burn of the alcohol and the bite of the hops. Good beer and great flavor / aroma.

Pour from a 12oz. dense head and a dark amber color. Nose is dominated by caramel, resin and pine with faint rose floral quality. Taste is extremely sweet like a candy with a bitter finish. Some anise and oak. Taste is not well balanced though reasonable complex. Feel is smooth with a light carbonation. Coats well and rolling it brings out a bourbon taste.
