Double IPA Aged in Whiskey Barrels
We took a basic IPA and beefed it up using large amounts of malt for muscles and hops for attitude. Then stuck it inside disemboweled whiskey barrels to train for months. Once emerged, it was vigorously dry hopped to finish its transformation into this fierce hop warrior known as Xerxes' Bane!

22OZ bottle
Served in an oversized wine glass
This beer pours a brilliant amber hue with copper highlights. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves spotty lacing.
I get malt, caramel, vanilla, and oak. There are hints of booze and citrus.
Malt and caramel flavor with a dry oak finish.
Medium bodied with a velvety smooth mouthfeel
Barrel aged IPA or dry hopped barleywine, whatever you call it is fine by me. Very oaky and dry. Aging would bring it more to my ballpark. Good beer and value
