3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled at an ESBLS tasting. I get all kinds of fruit in this beer. Just all over the place. Sticky stuff. Raisin is prominent with vanilla from wood. Some bread and nuts. It smoothed out with some tannins. I like it.

Interesting take on an ESB. The oak-aging lends a smokiness to the taste which seems a bit out of character but certainly not unappealing. Good beer, high-priced.

Bottle 75 cl. Pours a clear deep golden with a small off-white head. Dry oaky and slightly inky aroma, a tarry touch. Medium body, rather subtle maltiness, a little dry caramel and then again this very, very dry and inky oakiness. Ends dry and bitter. For once a not overly sweet oak aged beer, but I’m not really convinced. 230711

Draft at the American Craft Beer Fest in Boston. Pours a translucent brown. I liked it, felt like it had the roasty flavors of a darker beer with a much lighter body.

Nice orangey brown pour. Interesting; certainly oaky and smokey. The flavor was slightly bitter and funky, in a way I couldn’t tell if I liked. Overall a good beer though.

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

Bottle… Clear amber ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Decent retention. The spicy, earthy bouquet is rye-like, but a touch medicinal. Medium-bodied and very effervescent. The flavor leans slightly toward the bitter side of balance and offers spicy grains. Crisp, moderately bitter finish. Bottle courtesy of growler!
