we are kegging it in a couple days.  i'll be sure to let you know.  the ipa is actually closer to an imperial ipa at about 7.5 - 8.0%, 101 ibu.  hopped with chinook, centennial, amarillo & magnum.

I was with him when it was kegged. The aroma was great and I thought it reminded me a little of Southern Tier's Oak Aged Unearthly.

i had to pull a small sample off last night to make sure it was carbing up ok and i think it's going to be winner winner chicken dinner.

i've got an IPA in a 5.25 gallon american oak medium+ toast balcones blue corn whisky barrel as we speak.  i'll let you know how it turns out! 

i loved the oaked ipa i tried (commercial).

Nice...I'm curious to know how it turned out. I've thought about doing exactly what you're doing but never got around to doing it.

we are kegging it in a couple days.  i'll be sure to let you know.  the ipa is actually closer to an imperial ipa at about 7.5 - 8.0%, 101 ibu.  hopped with chinook, centennial, amarillo & magnum.

electronic dance music is a lot like the bjcp.  lots of styles when in reality, fewer would work.
