Tap @ Copper Kettle. Pours a fairly clear, dark orange appearance with a cream colored head. Toasted malty, a bit nutty, orange fruity, somewhat oaky, a bit herbal aroma. Slightly boozy, toffee, coconut, rich vanilla woody, somewhat floral, citrusy flavor. The oak notes really came out nicely.

Tap at CK - I am normally not a fan of oak aged IPAs, as the barrel tends to rob the beer of it’s vibrancy - this, however, is a bit of a different story - the oak is very mild, adding only a hint of wood and vanilla - the hops are still bright, peppery, lightly citric - light coconut in the finish compliments the more tropical hop notes - quite nice.
