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.

Botella 33 CL en vivalabirra 02..01..2020. Color ámbar velado con espuma blanca. Sabores intensos maltosos y cereales intensos con toques de levaduras lager y maderas empapadas. Suaves alicorados.. Cuerpo medio a intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio y bastante sabor. Bastante buena para repetir sin duda, original combinación de sabores.

35,5 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Mitra Wijk bij Duurstede. Hazy dark red to brown with an off-white head. Malty caramel aroma with some red fruit, bourbon, vanilla and oak. Bitter and sweet battle to be the dominant taste but it keeps flipping. Finish is woody bourbon: long and satisfying. Some alcohol warmth but it's very rounded and gentle. Great to drink a barrel aged beer which isn't an imperial stout or porter.

Tap @ Brody’s. Dried fruit, vanilla and a hint of Bourbon in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor. Vanilla, dried fruit, Bourbon, earthy hops. Good, solid, delicious but also quite alcoholic.

Flaska från SB. Åtminstone något år gammal. Mörkare mahogny med krämig smutsbeige skumpuck. Spritigt så det förslår, trots ålder. Drar nästan åt lite medicinsk sprit, överskuggar det mesta andra. Lite kola, lite barleywine-liknande russin-toner, lätt parfymerad kokos- och vanilj-bodylotion och övermogna äpplen. Mnjae...
