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.

12 ounce bottle. Reddish brown color. Large rocky beige head. Rich oaky malt nose. Notes of diried fruit. Big toasted malt flavor. Lots of dark dried fruit and bourbon. Hints of caramel and resin. This brew is young and raw and should improve with age.
