Based on the Ruthless Rye IPA from Sierra Nevada, but with additional Rye. Rather than dry-hopping another 4 ounces of hops, oak chips are introduced to compliment the spice of the Rye. The oak chips are soaked in a fruit-brandy called "rakia," which is fermented grapes, pear, or peaches, and is the national drink of Bulgaria.
