Stolen Voice Oak-Aged Imperial IPA

Our latest home brewing adventure is finally in the bottle. It's been quietly sitting on oak chips for a few months - and the pre-carbonation taste test was nothing short of promising. There's smokey flavors from the oak chips, plus earthy hop flavors from the Willamette. The alcohol flavors are strong but not overpowering, and the malt balances the high hop bitterness nicely.
