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.

A beautiful pour, deep copper with a nice, light tan head, though I wish the head lasted a bit longer. Nose is dominated by the hops, a little sweetness, and a fair dose of alcohol. Flavor is good. Well balanced and subtler than the nose. Flavors fade a bit too quickly for full marks, but this is a very good beer.

The ABV is the primary taste. Nice thick head, rich caramel malt tones, and just knocks you out. Very good oaked/earth quality, a very nice mixed beer.

bottle courtesy of ivy7496. syrupy medium orange pour with 1 ginger off white creamy head that leaves nice lacing and some legs. aroma is heavy of slightly smokey oak and a sweet wallop of hops with a musty, foggy backdrop. nice grainy earthen taste on the palate and in the aftertaste. tastes crisp and fresh cut with some hints of pine lent by the hops. a very woodsy feel to it, very warming. great iipa blend!

Location: 12 oz bottle King Farm Wine, 8/26/09, I’ve been meaning to try this one for a while, but for some reason I hadn’t until now

Aroma: Fresh fruits, pine, floral, caramel, vanilla, oak
Appearance: Clear golden-amber color, about 1 finger of white foam, lots of lacing
Flavor: A nice sweet flavor of oak and fruit and some big citrus and pine hoppiness too
Palate: Wow is this easy to drink for a 10% beer, no alcohol burn, medium body, smooth, and a bit dry
Overall Impression: This was a really nice beer. I can see someone using the sweetness of it against it, but I found it to be completely enjoyable. A really well made beer, another great one from the guys at DFH. Yum.

Pours a nice deep orange with thick off-white head, lots of lacing. Aroma obvious of citrus and floral hops, heavy caramel malt, decent oak character, slight alcohol, and some dried fruits. Flavor matches well and comes together nicely. Body is a bit more heavy than I would like, but altogether a nice brew.
