15th Anniversary Wood Aged
A deep amber color is poured in the glass, when it settles it fades to a dark orange. A thick two inch head forms on top that is cream in color. The head begins to lace slowly down the glass. The aroma starts with a strong grass and pine scent, then the hearty fragrances of bread and malt. That is soon overshadowed by the esters of from wood, like caramel and vanilla. Those esters come out in the flavor at the front, mostly of vanilla that blends itself to the malt flavor very well. Then hops begin to take over with the flavors of grass and pine, they dominate till the very end. A hearty feel, a medium/heavy, that flows across the palate like skim milk is the best example. This beer is a sipping beer, enjoy slowly. The ten percent ABV, sees to that fact. The taste and aroma are strong, the feel is hearty and it is visually appealing. A strong double IPA offering.
