Terrapin Oaked Aged Rye Squared

Brewed by Terrapin Beer Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Athens, Georgia USA

On tap at Redlight Redlight. I almost fell over when I saw the tap handle! I missed tasting this a few months ago and was so happy to see it. Pours a amber orange with a thick taan head. Big citrus grapefruit floral aromaa with hints of oak. Nice clean citrus oak taste with a light malt backbone. Muck more balanced than the regular Rye Squared and I think focuses more on the hops and oak than DFH Burton Baton does. Yeah, I liked it.

On tap at Redlight Redlight. It pours a deep reddish amber with an aroma of citrus, pine, wood, and some vanilla. The oak mellows the IPAness of the beer and releases vanilla and maple notes in the flavor. Very malty, but almost reminiscent of Burton Baton from DFH, but heavier on the malt backbone.

Tap at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a clear copper with a large long lasting off-white head that leaves great lacing. Aroma is loaded with citrus hops with notes of sweet malt, caramel, spicy rye, oak, and vanilla. Taste is the same as aroma but not as prominent. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and well hidden alcohol. My favorite brew from Terrapin.

(Draught) Pours a hazy amber body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of vanilla, citrus, oak, and light smoke. Flavor of oak, rye, hops (citrus, pine), and vanilla with a bitter finish.

on tap. average fizzy/creamy khaki head into clear brown body with good lacing present. aromas of light vanilla, sweet citrus hops, some oak, and caramel malts. flavor is an intense bitter that subsides some into a bitter sweet finish. long finish duration and soft carbonation. good imp IPA with well-hidden alcohol.

Appearance: Pours a clear, mahogany-hued body with a small, white head. Smell: Dry, caramel-scented maltiness, and, well, it’s fairly oaky. Notes of spicy rye, booze, and citrus. Taste: Dense pale and caramel maltiness with a perky, medium-high sweetness present. Plenty of smooth oakiness with a mild taste of vanilla. There’s a big bitterness lurking in here. Not picking up much rye. Pinch of citrus zest. Bittersweet finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium-low carbonation. Drinkability: Reasonably tasty, well-made, and surprisingly drinkable. It’s nice to see Terrapin playing around.

Pours a deep clear amber with a big fluffy off-white head that lingers throughout leaving very good lacing. Smell is mostly sweet malts with vanilla and caramel. There are hints of oak in the smell but not a lot. The taste is much like the smell but has a bit heavier oak presence, especially as the beer warms. I get a bit more of the rye in the taste as well. Mouthfeel is medium to heavy and very creamy with a good bit of carbonation. I really enjoyed this beer and it got better as it warmed. The oak really only complimented the taste and I actually like this a little better than the regular rye squared.

My first time at the new tylers! Amber/brownish pour with frothy off-white head. Sweet caramel malts and oak on the nose. Citrus, rye, oak, vanilla, and hops. Oak and rye mix well together
