My buddy DahCheet brought over a bottle of Southern Tier Oak Aged Unearthly India Pale Ale over to watch the start of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The beer pours a golden orange color with a thin filmy white head with bits of lacing left on the glass. The aroma is strong and powerful with lots of caramel, vanilla, fresh lemon and pine hops, tangerine, and orange. The taste is biting up front with lemon and pine hops before the oak dryness comes in play. The finish brings out a big caramel profile, and the after taste spritzes some citrus, including lemon, tangerine, and orange. The alcohol content is 11.0% ABV. The smoothness of this beer, courtesy of the caramel, paired with the sweetness and bitterness of the citrus was wonderfully done. The dryness that shows up in the middle due to the oak aging was also quite welcome.
