After the first sip, we both said "woah." Which is a good description of this beer. It smells like a barleywine, sweet and caramel. It's a pretty honey colour, and leaves pretty lace foam on the edges of the glass.
And the taste! Oh, IPA, you are delicious. I had no idea. It's light, but also thick, and it almost had a coffee stout flavour to it - as if there was a little Speedway Stout mixed in. Definitely hoppy, but in a nice, pleasant way - nothing kicked me in the teeth. Very drinkable, and all around awesome.
Truly an amazing beer worth trading for. What bottles went to your trader?
ReplyDeleteSent him 50/50 Eclipse (1 Heaven Hill, 1 Elijah Craig) as the official trade, threw in Moylan's Kilt Lifter, Hopstoopid, Racer 5, and Pranqster as extras. The Weyerbacher was actually an extra from our trader - he was only supposed to send us a few Cigar City beers. I think I'm officially hooked on trading - so many awesome beers to try, so little time.
