On tap at Bug Mike's Brew N Que in Cary. More traditional IPA: pale, bitter and with not so much florals.

L - pours a rather disappointing crystal clear golden straw. Was hoping for some character given the brewery name! Fluffy head, looks to be rather carbonated...
S - from the moment I opened the bottle, deeply spicy boozy oaky wood galore. Don't know what was in these barrels aside from le france, but I'd guess a bourbon or a rum. Sticky piney hops follow and leaves a cinnamon Christmas tree essence in the air.
T - wow, holy cow is the oak overwhelming! I thought the aroma was strong, but this is something else! Looks to be rum. Has a tight bitterness that pulls the cheeks in. Strong spice flavor. Allspice, ginger, some nutmeg. I keep forgetting this is supposed to be an IPA! Getting some mild hop twang, but I'm really stretching here...
F - not as carbonated as the initial pour suggested. Full-bodied and smooth, but still has a bit of a foamy feel. Not as much fun to swish in the mouth.
O - first Ass Clown beer and I'm a fan! I think. They went for a flavor and they certainly delivered, even if it is a bit rough around the edges. The bottle says oak and there sure as hell is oak. A unique and interesting beer for sure, but I'm not sure I will want this again!
