Commercial Description:
The elusive brew is made from pilsner malt and amber malt with an original gravity of 26.5?P, yielding an 11% abv. It's hopped with Warrior and Glacier varieties. Primary fermentation takes place in open vessels using two yeast strains, one American and one English. For added complexity, the beer is conditioned on barrel staves of French Oak for four months before being dry hopped with Glacier at the rate of a half-pound per barrel. This elixir is then blended 50/50 with 90 Minute IPA. After blending, the beer will measure 80 IBU and 10% abv. Bottled in corked bottles through Michael Jackson’s rare beer club by late November 04 and available in 12 ounce full distribution in early January 05.

Lots of hops in the aroma, not a lot of hop bite though as I was hoping. Not sure what the oak aspect does for this, as this tastes VERY similar to the 90 minute. Taste is way more sweet of molasses and sugars then that of hops, or oak. Its a pretty good beer, but i dont think its 14 bucks a 4 pack good.

Some crazy stuff. Bronzish orange with a massive head with a whipped pudding consistency. Nose is incredibly hoppy, flavour doesn’t match -- lots of brown sugar, tropical fruit, apples, plus woody notes and alcohol. Bit of an odd combo, not sure it works, but I appreciate the effort.

Pours a dark copper. Alcohol and oak flavors come through, but it killed the hoppiness for me. Not crazy about it.

a very drinkable double ipa. the appearance is copper colored with a thin layer of beige foam, the aroma is citrusy and the flavor is sweet and hoppy.

The first time I have seen this beer it was sitting next to the 90 minute and it was about a buck more so I thought that dog fish did even better than the godfather of ipa’s? well I hate to say it but no way. I can taste what they were trying to do but how can you make old ninety any better guys? Maybe brew it in gold barrels...

12 oz. bottle - clear and dark, reddish amber; thick, soapy cream colored head settles to the edges; aromas of soapy hops, wood and sweet malts; slightly hot as it drinks creamy and mostly smooth; bitterness is nicely muted by the malts; flavors of vanilla and oak; malty sweet over the bitterness; pretty nice

12 oz. Nice deep choco/mahog pour. No head, very still. Savor that green oak addition on top of intensely sweet toffee/vinous/caramel/slightly boozy nose. Warm on the tongue tasting like toffee/caramel/oak thick and sweet. Hop presence is felt, but not highlight. Slightly boozy bitterness in the finish. Finishes very nice if not a little sticky. Nice, but the process seems overkill for such a good/not great beer.
