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.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Nut brown. Orangey nose. Sweet and medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. Light roasty malt with some careful orangey hops over. Low bitterness. Not thatmuch going on here.

I used to say that this beer had potential if they would get the malt extracted properly. Well, Ken from the brewery told me to try it again. Yup, they’ve got it right now. There is a lot more chocolate and toasted malt flavour now. A subtle nuttiness as well, and it really plays off the hops well (previously I felt it was overhopped). The finish is dry, almost smokey, and with good length. Well worth a pint or two.

TBone (9413) - Pori, FINLAND - SEP 29, 2007
Bottled@SBWF 2007
Nutty brown color, expresso head. Light malty and caramelly nose. Light hoppy, a bit toffeish flavor. Maybe some coffee beans there too. Easy to finish, easy to forget.

Caramel and toasty aroma and flavor. More hops than you’d expect. Good overall beer, eminently drinkable.

hopdog (7043) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 29, 2006
341ml bottle acquired in trade with blankboy (thanks!). Poured a medium brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of stronger caramel with some roast and nuts. Tastes of the same strong caramel, chocolate, and toasted nuts. On the sweeter side. Thinner body.

Darker brown colour with moka head. Nice hoppy nose with a bit of malt. Nice malty mouthfeel wih just enough hops to pleasure the mouth, with nice citrus in mouth, and a wee bit of nuts. Yum. Yum.
