Bottle from Hilldevils. Aroma is very woody with vanilla, soft hops, caramel, malt, bourbon, ripe fruits, a bit of alcohol in the finish. Flavour is about medium sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium to full. The bourbon really shines, aged hops, profile is somewhat like a BA American Strong Ale. Good.

Bottle at home. Dark amber red color, medium sized off-white head. Aroma is malts, raisins, wood. Flavor is malts, caramel-ish, raisins, liquor, wood, liquor bitterness. Although this one has turned out reasonably well, I've never understood why barrel aging an IPA would be a good idea. It just never makes the IPA better. Different? Yes. This one? Yeah turned out alright. Good, etter than it was before barrel aging? Highly doubt it.
