Black Oak Sweet Potato Nutbrown Ale

Brewed by Black Oak Brewing
Style: Brown Ale
Etobicoke, Canada

On Cask at Volo Cask Days 2008. Brown pour, small bubbly head. Malty aroma with earthy spices. Taste is good - spicy nut brown, earthy, a tad similar to the Nutcracker - in terms of spices - . I just wish there was more body to back it up. My beer name and idea of the fest, Ken, you are pretty damn creative!

Cask @ Volo’s Cask Days 2008. Pours a very light bodied & lighter brown. Aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon. Taste is quite good. Autumn spiciness. Sweet potato pie. Body was lacking though. Cool concept & beer.

Volo cask days 2008. dark dark brown, some tanish head. Nose is spicey and sweet, very sweet, nutmeg and cinnamon. intresting. the flavor again is sweet, also intresting spice notes as is the nose, funky idea very enjoyable.

Cask at Volo Cask Days, October 2008. Pours light brown, amber with a small bubbly head. There are aromas of pumpkin pie, nutmeg, cinnamon. The flavour of the original brown ale is a bit lost. I taste subtle spices, a bit of water; it has a medicinal element. Mouthfeel seemed a bit watery too.

Brewed for Volo Cask Days 2008.Like a spiced pumpkin without the pumpkin. Loads of soap bubbles on brown. Big on cinammon. Drinkable. Not too complicated, original brown ale base adds sweetness to the spice. Decent cask.Average mouthfeel.May have been a tad hops.
