So the oak aged IPA has been in the bottle for about 3 weeks now and it’s time to crack open the first bottle to see how it has turned out so far. The aroma is pure malt & a bit of a hop aroma. I did expect more floral notes from the hops at first pour but somehow that fell short of my expectations. This may be due to the oak chips that were added as it also has that oaked flavor that is dominate with the malts. This beer obviously is still a bit young and I think it definitely needs more time to mature although it is quite drinkable now. Paitence is key here my friends! I think over time the oak will come forward so I’m anxious to see how the flavors progress.
