Buckle up your chin strap and enjoy the ride! This beer breaks free from the pack and cranks it up a notch. This Brain Bucket Imperial IPA was aged on barrels for 3-4 months to give it a distinct character. Classic Northwest hops, pine, and citrus tones will knock your senses senseless! It wouldn’t be a bad idea to wear a helmet while drinking this big bold barrel aged delight!

Really something like a session barleywine? Lower abv but not sticky / heavy. Bright but with great hop and barrel character. Unique and pretty awesome.

Better than I expected. Nice faint bourbon smell. Mouthfeel is medium to thick. Nice bourbon and carmel flavors. What you'd expect from a barrel aged iipa. Kind of like a barely wine. Overall solid brew. Would get it again at $9

On tap at the brewery:
Poured nicely in a tulip, solid legs and aroma - a little darker in color (I'm sure due to the barrel).
Bourbon hits quick with a nice hop finish. My buddy got chocolate from it but I didn't...
