Black Oak 10 Bitter Years Imperial IPA
8% abv.

On a few trips into Toronto, Jeff and I would stop at the Black Oak brewery to grab some beers and Jeff really liked the 10 Bitter Years Imperial IPA. But it's been a while.

"I haven't had this in a couple of years," Jeff said after cracking open a new bottle. "I was excited to see if it was as good as I remembered when I heard it was coming to the LCBO.

"It still has that punchy citrus hops in the smell with a hint of sweetness. The taste is great, tonnes of pine and citrus hops. The bitterness is in balance with the caramel sweetness of the malt," Jeff said.

"I think it's incredibly drinkable and it's my favourite from Black Oak."
