I am not entirely sure that this is the proper name, as I didn't see it listed anywhere during my recent visit to T-Town. My server called it by "Oak Aged IPA" after I asked about the cask selection. So I'll go with that.
It arrives with a decent sized, loose bubbled buttercreme head atop an rusted orange liquid.
Lots of juicy clementines, lime leaves, ganja, and sappy pine on the nose, backed with toasted caramel and subtle hues of vanilla and wood.
It lays a solid malt blanket across the tongue, full of caramel, toasted nuts, and peaches. Hops pick up where the malts leave off and add their multicolored citric (lime and orange), pine, and reeferous stylings. Throughout it all, the oak adds glints of vanilla, light char wood, and tannins. Big kudos here for the tactfulness of the barrel aging, as the wood is merely an associate, a wingman, and not some showy uncouth brute. This is an IPA first, and a barrel-aged experiment second.
From the cask, the mouthfeel is glassy and glossy smooth, if perhaps a hair on the thinnish size compared to the boldness of the flavors. Perhaps because of this, it is a nearly endless and endlessly satisfying quaffer.
