Dankwood (2018)

Red Ale - Imperial / Double

What do you get when a big, bold imperial red IPA meets an oak bourbon barrel? A palate stunner that'll send your senses spinning or, as we like to call it, Dankwood. Rich caramel notes emerge from the depths of the IPA, highlighting strong malt character while the bourbon barrel-aging develops the complexity. A dank, sticky and slightly sweet sipper, Dankwood is the perfect alchemy of wood and hops. You may remember this beer as barrel-aged reDANKulous, which was featured heavily in our taproom (and many of our bellies). 12.2% ABV. 65 IBUs. Dankwood is the third release of 2018 in the Barrel-Aged Series.

God Imperial Red Ale med fruktiga inslag. Genomträngande alkoholsmak drar ner betyget.

Aged 5 years (and a day!). Kinda sorta blah-ish, but got better as it warmed. Mostly an overly bitter BA barleywine. Looking at my original rating, i wasn't stoked over this back then either.

Kuivunut on vuosien myötä, runko myös ohentunut. Humala tulee yllättävän terhakkaasti esiin edelleen ja tynnyröinti maistuu myös, onhan tämä laatuolut edelleen..

The bourbon held up nicely over time but the hop flavor did some weird things. Still pretty good

From Memory: Impressed with it. Aroma was grapefruit & oak with subtle vanilla sweetness. Taste reflects the aroma, having some orange flavor to go along with it. Dry finish from the bourbon oak barrel aging. Different but good, not too dank but enough.

Bottled date 10.04.2020. Good beer, but this bottle is dominated by barrel. Also boozy aroma. So I guess it's a lottery. Some bottles are red IPA with barrel notes, some bottles are dominated with barrel. We'll see what next bottles bring

Komplex dricka. Men så är det ju också en bourbonfatlagrad imperial red India pale ale. Luktar sött. Torkad frukt finns både i lukt & smak. En del fat. Bourbon känns tydligt och förmodligen extra mycket med sina 12,2 %. Fick en boozechock vid sörpling.

Dark amber. Aroma is deep, malty, amber aleish, boozy. Tastes smooth, woody, leathery, bourbony, boozy. Strong and powerful, brutal but delicious. 3.85.

Deep dark red Imp BA IPA. Strong boozy bourbon scent with a spike of dank hops. Powerful nose full of deep malty nodes. Hoppiness start rolling in the body. The cask is obvious through. Full rich powerful body, caramelly towards chocolate. Long finish. 😍
