Heavy Seas Beer announces the release of Plank II – the second in a series of beers showcasing unique wood ageing treatment to add flavor and nuance. Plank II features an 8.5% ABV Dopplebock style lager matured with specially treated Eucalyptus and Yellow Poplar wood planks.Six-foot planks of Eucalyptus and Poplar were placed in the fermenter and allowed to age with the beer for six weeks. The Eucalyptus wood lends notes of chocolate, balanced with a hint of toffee and smoky dryness from the Yellow Poplar.Watch for Plank II’s release in early April. Plank II will join the Mutiny Fleet portfolio of beers available in 22oz. bottles and very limited draft and cask.

For those who don't want to wait till April to try this beer, I'm virtually certain that Alewife is holding a release event for this beer today. Not sure if it will be in bottles, draft of both (the sign in the bar didn't say).
The beer is currently on tap over at Max's (or at least it was as of yesterday afternoon). Really like this year's version...
This was already available at the Wine Source in Hampden as of last weekend.
I'm expecting any minute now to hear "It's all gone! Anyone seen any left?"
Mind you, it's one heck of a tasty beer. Woody dopplebock...... mmmmmm....
