Nov 30, 2009 Bottled. An amber beer with lazing beige head. The aroma has strong notes of caramel and alcohol as well as medium notes of malt. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel, alcohol, malt, citrusy hops, leading to a dry alcoholic and hoppy finish.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle 65 cl. Pours a clear pale amber with an off-white head. Lots of pine and licorice all-sorts in the nose. Medium body, very sweet caramel and fruit accents, peach and citrus. Some hops in the finish. I hardly pick up ANY oak accents. But not bad as such. 301109

Nov 26, 2009 Deep golden color out of the bottle with a frothy white head. Big hoppy nose with lots of alcohol, wet wood, and candied grapefruit. The barrel adds oak and butter to this big hoppy IPA. Red grapefruit juice, hop resin, tangerine, and some apricot all over a strong, bready backbone. I am feeling every bit of the claimed 11% ABV. This is a nice way to treat an IPA with a barrel.

Nov 25, 2009 Maybe its the flight from abroud or maybe its just the barrel ageing, but i’ve been disappointed by this style before. When opening an imp ipa im looking for an extreme amount of hop flavor, this one has almost none. Guess freshness is key, which isnt combined easily with barrel ageing. It has a heavy caramel aroma though. The look is orange with a light white head. Body is full with an oily texture. Heavy sweet flavor with the bitterness and alchohol in there. Again its a heavy alchohol/caramel taste that dominates. I did enjoy it, just wished for something different.

Nov 24, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a clear amber with a white fluffy head that falls to a frothy ring and leaves ample lacing. Big citrus and piney hop aroma with a nice oakiness and touch of vanilla. Very sweet flavor at first with caramel and orange notes. Then some oak, vanilla and some earthy flavors, followed by nice bittering piney hops through the finish. Smooth thick and delicious. Great balance and nice hop bite in the end.
