This sophisticated Double IPA evolves through eight months of maturation in Spirit of Yorkshire whisky casks, blending bold hop character with refined barrel influence. The sensory profile is defined by a high intensity of soft citrus fruits and resinous hops, seamlessly integrated with light, creamy vanilla notes derived from the Filey Bay whisky barrels. On the palate, a firm hop bitterness is tempered by the wood's rounded influence, offering a complex interplay of toasted oak and delicate spirit warmth. Despite its strength, the beer remains remarkably smooth and full-bodied, finishing with a lingering citrus zest and a whisper of honeyed malt.
Appearance.Deep gold to light copper (8-12 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves fine, creamy lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of orange peel, grapefruit, and a hint of pine. These primary scents are layered over a rich background of vanilla, toasted oak, and a subtle, clean whisky warmth. A supportive, neutral grainy maltiness sits in the background.
Taste.Bold citrus and floral hop flavors lead, supported by a substantial and complex bitterness that avoids harshness. The mid-palate reveals the barrel's contribution of smooth vanilla, light coconut, and toasted oak. It finishes medium-dry with a lingering hoppy, bitter aftertaste and a soft, spirituous warmth that rounds out the profile.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied with a notably smooth, creamy texture and medium carbonation. A well-integrated, noticeable alcohol warmth is present, providing a velvety sensation without any harsh astringency.
