On tap at Maritime Pacific, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out subdued wood and resinous hops. Flavour is quite woody, with lots of resinous hops, light bourbon and toasted biscuity malt. Really nice bourbon character to complement the hops - unusual synchrony here. Excellent.

Draft pour to a schooner at Maritime Pacific. Came here unexpectedly, and found a few unexpected beer styles. Very cool! I remember my last Bourbon aged IPA. They are few and far between, but always a unique treat. Aroma is very modest. Almost no indication of any barrel treatment. Tamed hops on the nose, I suppose. Flavor is incredibly smooth. I really like what the wood does to this IPA. No booziness transfers at all here. It's all flavor. A bit cool in the lingering flavorful finish. Finds the balance between a hoppy IPA, and a true whiskey taste without any harsh character. The flavor seems to come in waves. One sip is a full rich hop flavor, with the next being a true, smooth bourbon. Truly impressed with this offering. Loved it.
