Bottle trade from Jerc. Pours a clear gold with a thinner white head. Mild sweeter aroma. Crisp and relatively refreshing, and a little bit of bitterness. Not bad, but not amazing either.

Jul 20, 2008 Copper orange pour with a clingly lacey head. Spicey scent. Nice refreshing warm taste. A good bit of hops but not overpowering, some some Pale Ales. Easy to drink. Overall I am impressed by the Black Oaks I have tried.

Jul 5, 2008 Bottles. Pours a golden orange, with medium-to-low carboantion and very little head. Aroma is dominated by pine and grapefuit, but with notes of cotton candy and grain. Quite nice. Flavour is a little two dimentional, with only bready sweetness and a lingering bitterness present, but well balanced. Medium bodied. Would make a nice session beer.

Jun 19, 2008 Bottle thanks to matt7215. Pours a clear golden hue with a good sized white head. The aroma is pure wheat, honey and a touch or caramel, like a nice breakfast. The taste is very sweet; mostly honey and some caramel, a touch of hops, and grain. Very nice. Easy to drink and enjoyable.

May 6, 2008 Updated: May 27, 2008cask draught. A little disappointed with this as a cask offering. I’ve had the regular draught and bottle, might add them to this score in the future.
Kind of amber in colour. Slight bit of bitter fruity aroma. Taste was a mild hop with as light surprising fruit taste. Drinkable for sure.
(regular draft is slightly better)
