The beer pours a deep orange and amber in color. There is a tall head of thick and creamy off-white foam. The aroma is dank and piney hops, with a good amount of orange thrown in. The taste is orange and pine over caramel malt. The finish is quite heavily bitter. It is medium bodied, and very smooth, with a soft to just bristling carbonation. There is a bit of spicy heat from hops and booze. This is solid all around.

Big Wood Bad Axe Imperial IPA
This 9.8% ABV Imperial India Pale Ale is from the Big Wood Brewery of White Bear Lake, Minnesota. It uses Columbus and Centennial hops. It seems to be a bit Paul Bunyan inspired.
