I picked up a mixed case at the local packy. 3 of each beer.
The Finch's IPA is excellent.

Go big...or go home. Fine drink you got there.I just picked up a bottle of this. Nice to sip on.
Nose:
More like Lapsang Souchong tea than Lapsang Souchong! One of the smokiest noses from Islay. It's big, very, very concentrated, and redolent of iodine, sweet spices, good, mature sherry and creamy vanilla. Stunning.
Palate:
Very thick and rich. A massive mouthful of malt and sherry with good fruity sweetness, but also a wonderful sweetness. Big, powerful peat and oak.
Finish:
Long, spicy finish, figs, dates, peat smoke, vanilla.
I'm a huge IPA fan.
Picked up a 6 pack of Smuttynose Finestkind IPA on Friday. Anyone else in to IPAs?
It will be a minimum of 6 weeks, before finished. When its done I'll let you know how I made out.
Hope to hear a report (and pictures) of the finished product Carney!!!
