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.

pours a light brown/dark tan with very little head. nose; big caramel, oak, hops, & ethanol. taste; easy caramel malt, whiskey, oak, rye, & ethanol. medium mouthfeel and light carbonation. this bottle is over 3 years old and the alcohol is still a touch hot and detracts if you're expecting an ipa and not a shot of bourbon. pairs well with spicy food.

12 oz bottle date 4/11/18. Pours dark brown with a thin brown head. Little lacing.
Nose is a caramel apple out front. hop bitter and tanginess.

Mouth is a caramel apple upfront, bitter hops, sweet and tangy with an nice warm alcohol finish.

Aged well for 2 years. More along the lines of a barley wine at this point.
