Imperial English Pale Ale. #66 is a single barrel example of DDBA, aged in American toasted oak for four years. Single barrel offerings will each have their own unique character, like a thumbprint; no two are alike. The dominant caramel/toffee malt flavors in this beer are backed by a firm oak foundation. Sweet malt character with toasted oak nuttiness, vanilla and hints of dried stone fruit dance with a boozy character that emanate from the long maturation process on oak and the high alcohol

Bottle - Oak, whiskey, caramel and vanilla notes. Clear copper with a thin head. Caramel, bourbon, vanilla with a boozy burn. So very nice and balanced. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap. Pours with a hazed nearly brown hued body with a small tan head that fades. Aromas are fudgy, oak, vanillin, raisins and dark fruit. Flavors are all barrel, elegant, toasty, deep caramel intertwined with complex oak. Full bodied, well hidden alcohol, creamy carbonation.
