Nice turn on an IPA, barrel aging adds an extra dimension to appearance, aroma and taste. Very nicely done.

On tap at Brouwer's Caf� for Big Wood '12, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of dry hops and wild turkey barrels upfront, seeming finally like a BA IPA where the hops are still prominent, no doubt due to the dry hopping. Flavour is likewise well-balanced between the dry hopping and the barrels. Again, an IPA that is well barrel aged without obscuring the IPA qualities. Good stuff, but doesn't hold a candle to the regular Vortex IPA.
