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.

Bourbon zoet (mais), veel hout in de neus. Fris bittertje. Mooi in balans, de 12.2% haal je er niet uit.

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

2 yrs has done this well. Much more depth of flavor all around. Sweet malt, rich caramel, & honey up front. Good amount of barrel present. Boozy/hoppy tingle on the finish

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.

Här får man ut maximalt utav lagringen på bourbonfat, ölen i sig är ganska lätt till skillnad från de kraftiga stouts man brukar finna i bourbonfatlagring. Rejäl sockerfetma och karamelligt bränd smak. Massor av bourbon men inte så boozig ändå. Efterbesk!

Imperial red IPA op bourbonvaten. Hoppig, zoetig en heerlijke Bourbon afdronk. Warme caramel- en houttonen; beetje plakkerig. Passende naam: Darkwood. Gebotteld op 10 april 2018.

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

Put this away for a couple of years. Being an imperial IPA aged in bourbon barrels, at 12.2%, it was worth a try. Still tastes great, lost some of the bourbon, but still has some spice.

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.

Malty sweet and bourbon flavours. Definitely boozy but considering it’s 12%, not overly so. Slightly medicinal note.

Similar to the Old Tempest Brewing but not as delicate... nice beer nevertheless.
