Not a classic mainstream IPA. It is on the mellow side, and the barrel aging is evident in the taste. It is a good one for the non-hopheads

Pours a dark caramel red color. Minimal head and lacing.
Smells not so great. Sweet and caramelly, funky in a bad way.
Sweet caramel malt taste, weird tannins, not anything like an IPA.
It tastes like failures of Fobab's past.
Overall this is not good, would not buy again.
Thanks to a mystery friend for sharing.
