Imperial Red IPA Aged in Bourbon Barrels
What do you get when a big, bold imperial red IPA meets an oak bourbon barrel? A palate stunner that’ll send your senses spinning or, as we like to call it, Dankwood. Rich caramel notes emerge from the depths of the IPA, highlighting strong malt character while the bourbon barrel-aging develops the complexity. A dank, sticky and slightly sweet sipper, Dankwood is the perfect alchemy of wood and hops.

A dark brown beer, a head is medium and beige. Aroma is rich, lots of caramel, pine, some wood and dried fruitness, notes of alcohol. Taste has richness of caramel maltyness, dry wood, pine, resin, apricot. Not alcohol. Almost full bodied. This has some kind of elegance. Great big beer.

Do you recognize the feeling……what? Empty? Oh NO! Extra hole in the bottle? Shit…do I have one more? No :-(
Truly outstanding and great brew. Solid lovely complexity and a perfect balance.
Fine pleasant intensity in the aroma. Mellow nice sweetness and pleasant carbonation level. Easy to drink. A bit boozy, but no sticky alcohol. Just warming. Tropical, toffee, oak, vanilla, resinous and grapefruit hoppy. Yummi!

Bottle @ Højbjerg tasting 28 July. Pours clear tea amber with airy but stable off-white head. Clear aroma of malt, dust and yeast, with notes of dust and barrel. Sweetish, malty and barrellike flavour with estery notes and bitter, hoppy touches. Barrellike and estery aftertaste with hoppy notes. Warming alcohol presence. Good.
