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.

3 year aged. Super boozy, slight raisin past all the alcohol, a little bitter like orange pith, and pretty musty

Big caramel and vanilla toffee candies, really strong resinous spicy hops and pungent bitterness.

May have lost something in the last 3 years, takes a bit to open up, woody and malty, hops are hanging on barely

See previous reviews of Dank Wood & 2018 'Wood. Ages and mellows well for a three year old. Gets more woody as it ages. Glad there's one more left to go....

White cherry marmalade, vanilla cookies, peppery alcohol, pungent oakey bitterness, silky mouthfeel. So old, still has some hops left.

Red IPA with bourbon barrel aging. Well this is more balanced, they work together ok. Not like stouts but ok.

I’ve always been a fan of this one and would be thrilled to have it back in production. After 3 years, I taste the bourbon quite a bit as well as the barrel. A bit of tootsie roll? Very enjoyable.

The bourbon flavor is overpowering of everything else. Which is too bad. There was body in this. Now only bourbon flavor

A little old but held up surprisingly well. Boozy, oaked, rye with a decent hop character. I'm glad I took a chance on this.

Lækker Bourbon upfront. Derefter tager den røde IPA over med fyrnåle og karamel overlappet af let boozy træ/Bourbon. Som sædvanlig holdet Barrel Series et rigtig flot niveau.

I went to the cellar looked at this beer - to sweet, looking at that beer - not in the mood, and I came across this barrel aged red IPA. Light tan creamy head. Rusty red in color. Smooth barrel and little bit of oak, just enough hop. Very enjoyable.

Heftig og lidt mærkværdig øl. Kraftig bourbon vibe fra fadlagringen blandet med humle.

Celebrating the Earth and its (hop) bounty by spending a little time in the woods today. The dankwoods. Bourbon-barrel aged imperial reds make for a #HappyEarthDay. Dank and earthy. Word to your Mother (Earth)!

Bottled date 10.04.2018. Almost 3 years from bottling and it's still great. Red notes (caramel, bread), some sweetness mixed with bitterness. Plus bourbon barrel notes (in this bottle really nice, not only wood like it few other). No boozy notes.

Masser af fad i smag og duft. Mørk uden den store bitterhed. Fyldig med twist af vanilie.
