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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
