3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask. Foggy orange body with a small creamy white head. Creamy, cookie-ish aroma with strong orange hops and leafy notes. Raw grapefruit citrus hop flavour with underlying biscuit. Soft and chewy creamy palate. Quite drinkable.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cask at c’est what. This is the second cask beer I have tasted from Black Oak ( the other one ive tried was Hop Bomb). A really unique tasting and well balanced beer, my favorite of the festival.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask. Fine haze, medium large creamy top. Aroma was quiet grassy, fresh green grapes and grainy finish. Creamy texture, very soft body. Grassy hoppy middle. Light grainy (raw) finish.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cask at C’est What. Wow! Hops are upfront in the aroma and flavour, but are balanced just right. This was quite complex and very interesting flavour-wise, with a beautifully lingering finish. My favourite beer of the 18th Festival of Small Breweries in Toronto. Impressive stuff!
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask.
Big fresh leafy hops aroma, opaque yellow, nice foam retaining head.Flavour of hops are front and center, though less than the nose, fine malt backbone too.Very creamy, really well balanced, bitterness is just right. Great Session Ale. Well done Adrian and Ken!
