Commercial Description:
This is a darker offering from Black Oak. Rich smooth taste, slightly roasty and chocolaty. It's a bit less hopped, but still has a fantastic balance with the malt.

Dark brown colour, Weak aroma of nut. Taste is a full nut and roasty malts and a little chocolate. One of the better nut ales I’ve had.

Draught, at Bow & Arrow, Toronto on 7th June 2008.Sweetcorn on the nose to begin with; strong hazelnut notes with increasing nuttiness (peanut) to a bitter finish. Delicious, and different.

Pours brown/copper with good white head. Nice tree nut aromas blended with malt yeast. Taste brings though some hops and chocolate tones. Nice balance overall. I look forward to tracking down other Black Oak products.

Six pack from LCBO, pours amber/brown, tan head. Nice roasted malty aroma. Flavour is nutty with roasted malt and a hit a chocolate although it tasted a little burnt at times but I quite liked it. Overall a good beer.

Bottle. Dark copper with a thick mocha head with great retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is nuts, with roasted malt and a touch of wood. Flavor is maltyer than the aroma with roasted malt, some hops, woodand a slight touch of nuts. Bitter finish. Medium body with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation.

Bottle. This pours amber brown with a half inch, off white head with large, disappearing bubbles. There is wood, caramel and a distant nuttiness in the aroma. I taste plenty of roasted nuts, caramel malt giving way to smoke and dryness in a medium finish.

Off the top of my head, I believe this is the best dark beer brewed in Ontario. At least the best I’ve had.
