Jul 12, 2008 a like a little more ipa with my oak than this. aroma is really woody with some vanilla, and lots of caramel. poured a rich copper color and also had a deep caramel tasted that was intensified by the okay. little in the way of hops, biscuity and caramally. medium bodied, wasn’t really my thing.

Jul 7, 2008 This IPA poured a dark orange colour with a beautiful creamy tan head. To the nose there is scents of very ripe fruit, alcohol, yeast, brown sugar and hopps. First taste was creamy with just a little carbonation. Slightly bitter, but very hoppy with a high alcohol warming sensation to the palate. The palate is covered with a slightly oily mouthfeel with lots of hopp flavour with the bitterness lingering.

Jun 29, 2008 12oz bottle from Oaktree. Amber color with a tan/off white head. Very aromatic with vanilla and other sweets. Very caramel-ly but with a bit of an alcoholic bite taste. But went down smooth, very enjoyable and will buy again.

Jun 28, 2008 Poured orangish with a thin off white head. Hoppy, citrus aroma. Very comparable to the 120, just less alcohol taste. A great beer.

Jun 27, 2008 Orange-coppery pour with a thin, but lasting, creamy white head. Aroma is malty, earthy and woody, hoppy but not so much as I expected with all that dry-hopping. Full bodied, nicely carbonated. This one has crazy flavors going on, dried fruit, vanilla, oak, raisin, syrupy sweetness, citrus, fruity yeast flavors. The alcohol is lost with everything else going on. Definitely a unique brew, could pass for a barleywine. I bet this would age well.
