17th Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA
Poured from a bomber into a pint glass. It's a clear copper color with a finger or so of white head. It has a very typical IPA aroma, caramel malt base with a strong blended hop aroma. It's tough to tell which typical hop note comes out the most. Not much wood on the nose. The wood aging really comes out on the taste. It has some vanilla oak flavor and a caramel base like the aroma. The wood notes blend well with the hops but also masks the bitterness some. It's a good beer but it doesn't blow me away. I'd definitely drink some more (and will later tonight) but I won't need to seek it out again.
