Rich amber copper colour poured forth. Hops abounded - those fresh floral wafts of glory surprised me somewhat. Refreshing malty mouthfeel followed nicely by a hop kicker. I quite enjoyed this - best I’ve had from Black Oak.

Papery nose, but nice caramelly flavor covers up the fact that this is probably a bit old. Bit of a firey bite at the finish, and, by the time this warmed up, it had a pleasant malty nose.

Golden cream with trace white head. Aroma of tobacco, sunflower seeds, and peaches with some oak. Thin mouthfeel watery flavors of raisins, white chocolate with a moderate amount of bitterness.

Deep brown, clear, with a fine white head. Toffee, chocolate, and nuts on the nose. Med body w/lingering finish. Flavors of nut,carmel and some hops on the end. Overall great session brew!

poured a crystal clear caramel color with a thin to non existent layer of fine bubbles..metallic/canned vegitable aroma with notes of oxidized raisins...mellow raisiny, slightly sweet but kinda bitter flavor..melted toffee...slightly grassy or organic and earthy...with more raisiny flavors...not too shabby really..maybe a bit oxidized.
