Bottle. Orange copper color. Aroma of caramel, malt, yeast, bourbon vanilla and grassyness. Taste has bourbon vanilla, yeast, fainted hop fruit, caramel and a little iron. Too much co2, bit annoying. Good idea, but it doesn’t work as well as it could.

Bottle from het Biermoment, bottled Nov 2016, 33 cl sample. Almost clear amber to copper color, medium frothy head leaving decent amount of lacing. Aroma has a lot of cookie and vanilla from Makers Mark, slight earthy hops and some toffee and caramel malt. Soft to medium bitterness, cookie sweetness and quite some barrel, giving oak and a bit of boozy alcohol. Not a lot left of a fresh DIPA ofcourse, so I wonder what they intenddd with it. Feels like an old DIPA now, going towards a malty american strong ale, but then with decent barrel aging, that really added something. Quite enjoyable, but expect a BA american strong ale more than DIPA.
