Vintage 2014
Appearance: burnt amber body; copper if you will; clear; one
finger off-white head; light on the lacing
 |
| the clarity started off a bit misty and then turned clear |
Aroma: aromatic hops; toasted grains; faint oak; light
bouquet overall
Flavors: prickly hops, pine like; light spicy hops; little
oak wood; toasted grains; faint sweet grains;
Mouthfeel: seems a little thin on the delivery; hops on the mid;
toasted notes on the back; light fine carbonation; very dry; moderately bitter;
dry spicy toasted notes linger;
To the Point: what did they age in those Kentucky barrels?
7-up; kept waiting for the bourbon or whisky notes; just visited their website
and they don’t say anything about it being bourbon or whisky – just "oak wood
barrels" – then that is what I got out of it – a woody note; an interesting
twist to this IPA
I paired this with an 8oz Filet Mignon medium-rare, black rice with a few applewood smoked shrimp left over from last nights dinner (Mad Hatter Dinner Review) and beans with carrots. OHHHH so good! I really like the black rice with a Filet.
The Oak Aged Hatter paired nicely with my Filet.
