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.

341ml bottle. Faint roasty aroma. Dark amber brown with large foamy beige head that thins to a fine line. Disappointing lack of taste. Faint hint of malted hazel with a dry aftertaste.

341mL bottle from my OCB mixed pack from the LCBO. Pours a very nice copper brown with a large tan head. Aroma is great, nice nutty elements complimenting some caramalt, as well as some roastyness, and a hint of smoke. Flavour reflects the aroma perfectly, with some nice body to it. The nuttyness is very apparent, and adds some great dryness to the finish which balances out what would otherwise by somewhat of a caramalt defined beer. Very solid stuff. This brewery consistently makes great stuff and I look forward to more from them hopefully in the near future. I wish this product got better distribution to my area.

Tap at the victory Cafe in Toronto. Attractive dark brown color. Winey, dark fruit, wood and smoke aroma. Relatively simple malt flavor. Slightly nutty and smoky, but way too think in the mouth. Decent, but lacks complexity.

Dark brown with red tinting. Little to no head. Smells like diacetyl, chestnuts, and plant roots as well as caramel malts. Quaffable mouthfeel. Great roasted malt flavors. Thin finish but in a quaffable way. Light chocolate. Solid nut brown.
