COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This innovative ale, burnished chestnut in color, contains the malt characteristics of an ESB without the typical bitterness. Lighter carbonation highlights the oak-aged flavor and its enduring tones of toasted vanilla and spice.

cakanator (440) - South Hadley, Massachusetts, USA - JAN 1, 2012
Sample pour after tasting. Pours out a decent tan hue. Aromas are woody and sweet some sharper notes. Palate is very bland, smooth across, but I’m not picking up any of the wood flavors, nor any hops. Really just a bland mess, the dud of the brewery, which I tend to think makes decent beer.

Bottle passed onto me by Jan & Charlotte, many thanks to a very generous couple. Consumed 30.12.11 Pours dark amber with a slight haze. Woody and spicy on nose and also in mouth. A little appley tang also picked up. Gentle warmth throughout, good beer. b] A6 A3 T7 P3 Ov13 3.2
