hombrepalo (748), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 15, 2008 12 oz bottle. strong taste! Poured a nice red color with little head, some lacing. Aroma of oak, hops, alcohol. Taste is of an overwelming alcohol and oak. This one was almost like a barleywine... Did not think to highly of this beer. dkachur (2319), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Mar 14, 2008 Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Pours a reddish color with a small head and good lacing. Very strong oak and vanilla aroma. Taste is a very complex mixture of oak, vanilla, coffee and dark fruits. Thick, chewy mouthfeel. Given the description, I don’t know how the hell they came up with this, but it definitely works. EricE (446), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Mar 14, 2008 Orange red pour, hazy, with a white head. Bubblegum and liquorice with a sweet grainy aroma. Nice sweet start is quickly overpowered by a very bitter alcohol finish. Seemed good, but the just too much of an alcohol taste. fiver29 (703), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Mar 14, 2008 Bottle pours a red color with a nice white head. Has a sweet smell with a nice oak touch. Tastes like a sweet oak cup of beer. Very nice. Laces well as you drink it. jstraw (750), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 12, 2008 In bottle at Jerry’s. Copper-amber with good, creamy beige head / Oaky, winey, medicinal, dry nose / Medium, sticky, sweet body with good, biting finish / Flavors of spun sugar and oak with faint undertones of dates and apricots / A bit of barleywine character. Not sure that Dogfish needs to produce every crazy idea they come up with, but god bless their sense of adventure nonetheless. WickerBrew (312), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 12, 2008 I got to say I had high hopes for this and it didnt quite live up. Aged IPA and 90 Min, together? Well it was too good to be true, this is a little bit bland. Obviously the aging would smooth out the 90, but it doesnt add enough back. At 10% thats nice, but at $14 for a 4-pack I dont think i will be coming back. imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA Mar 11, 2008 12oz. Pours hazy brown with small tan head. Aromas of oak, malt, and a small amount of hops. Flavors of wood, hops, sweet malt? and alcohol. Not a great beer, but ok. Nothing special at all. radagast83 (1273), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Mar 10, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a dark amber color. Small head. Aroma is oak, vanilla, hops. Flavor is oak, vanilla, hops, and notes of citrus. Extremely smooth beverage. Alcohol is present, but does not detract from this beer.
