Avery Samaels Oak-Aged Ale

Bottle, bought at Wohlenberg, Sønderborg. Pours a slight hazy redish orange with a small beige film head that ends up in the sides of the glass. Powerful malty aroma. There is caramel, oranges, oak and a nice alcohol feel to it. Quite low carbonation, kind of oily. Flavour is very sweet, with tones of raisins, lots of oak, sweet and burnt caramel. The oaky presence is not too much, but the alcohol is warming well. Actually very nice - the sweetness is only present at the beginning, but the oakyness and slight citric bitterness is helping well.

Murky copper color on this angel of death with a head as big as the wings themselves. Big grapefruit aroma with notes of oranges, peach, oak and some floral hop accents. The initial taste almost seared my taste buds off, holy sh.. I started breathing fire after tasting this thing and thought for a second there my name was Dante. After I finally came to my senses minutes later this brew had opened up a bit and the caramel and citrus hop flavors had masked the alcohol much better. The oak aspects definitely were present without making me feel like I was licking a tree. Very fine beer.

Bottle. Pours a thick brown/black. A heavy beer by no doubt. A very intense taste similar to scotch, the alcohol is very noticable, an oak-aged taste is very aparent.

Cloudy, copper appearance with an average size, off white head and moderate lacing. Woody, caramel malt aroma with hints of scotch and vanilla. Earthy, dark fruit, mildly spiced flavors. After the sweetness settles, the alcohol pounces and lingers through to the finish where it becomes a bit harsh. Full bodied mouthfeel with little carbonation. Had to get a second bottle because the first one wasted me before I could rate it. Definitely left a lasting impression.

12oz bottle, split with some familty members on July 4th. Poured amber, with a thin tan head. Aroma of oak, vanilla, and bourbon. Smooth and syrupy, with minimal carbonation. Sweet, vinous flavor, with oak, prune, bourbon, and floral noted. Big and tasty.

Bottle. Unclear amber red color with a small frothy fair lacing mostly diminishing off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, fruity, alcoholic, perfume, oak, vanilla, sugar ? Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet balance with a moderate to heavy alcohol finsh that ends in sweetness, with a long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

(bottle - 12 oz) Amber color with almost no head or carbonation. Aroma is very sweet with a lot of alcohol present and tons of caramel. Flavor is very strong and oaky with lots of caramel, toffee, and alcohol. Very chewy and warming on the way down. Bordering on too sweet.

350 mL bottle. Copper brown with fizzy head. Malty caramel aroma of oak and alcohol.Taste initially of sweet candy and malt transitioning to an oak and alcohol taste and finishing with a wonderful vanilla flavor and alcoholic warmth. A very big beer with an interesting taste. Worth a try.
