Commercial Description:
Jim II is a collaboration between Hair of the Dog brewer Alan Sprints and Oregon Brew Crew member Preston Weesner. This recipe is the second installation to honor the late Jim Kennedy, a tireless promoter of craft beer. This commemorative brew is a blend of beers including oak aged Fred, Adam, and Doggie Claws, with German Pilsner and Belgian Triple blended in to dry it out.

Tasted @ Hair of the Dog Brewing Company in Portland.
Amber/brown colored brew. Port, bourbon, sweet wine and oak kinda aroma. Interesting and complex aroma. Oaked, dry hop and malty flavors. Smooth and complex brew. Very nice flavor and overall a very interesting brew!

2nd Brewery 07-08 Beer Road Trip with Bikesandbeer, 12/31/07 @ The Brewery with Alan Sprints. Alan was nice enough to give Kevin, Kevin’s Girlfriend Jessi a private tour and tasting on New Year’s Eve 07. Draft @ The brewery. This was labeled as the 2007 vintage of Jim. Poured cloudy borwn with a 2 finger creamy tan head. Nose was killer and complex. Taste was a big huge wow for me, very very complex and over the top, with notes of smoke and all kinds of other stuff. This was Killer!

mountain dew keg (tasting hosted by after4ever) - big thanks to preston for bringing this up and giving us a sample; after the over-carb cleaning up, the white head disappeared quickly leaving a clear amber; alcohol and woody aromas; lots of texture and creamy finish

Holiday Ale Festival 2007- Incredible multi-layered nose on this brew. Dark reddish maroon color. Warms your mouth, fantastic brew. I’m glad I tried this brew early in my day.

At Holiday Ale Festival in Portland 2007--Most anticipated beer by many connoisseurs. Dull bronzed amber hue with an off-white head. Ethyl alcoholic nose with woody astringency. Sandy, gritty hops presence. Blended with Pilsener. Wild complex flavor that out did Jim One. Interesting and best enjoyed in small dosages.
