What we have for you is a truly unique release that we are sure you will enjoy. We aged Two to the Dome (our Double IPA) in French Oak Chardonnay barrels and then blended it back with freshly brewed Dome. This process imparts great vinous character balanced with subtle notes of toasted oak that create a wonderful interplay with the big bright citrus profile of the whole leaf hops that we use in conditioning Two to the Dome. Coming in at 8% abv, this is a solid heavy hitter with a bit of refinement that is sure to get people talking. This is a bottle to consume fresh, as hop profiles will diminish with age. We hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoyed making it.
