Jan 7, 2008 The ratings ring true.. no oak. While buttery smooth, and a slight acidic tart after taste, it’s not what one would expect given the advertisements. It’s very smooth, I was expecting a bit harsher on the tongue given the fizzy, yet quickly dissipating head. Pours a dark butterscotch cola color. Nice slightly chewy malt... that caramel and butter. Generally good, but not exciting. (Bottle Pour 1/7/2008)

Jan 4, 2008 Pours dark tea-like brown. Thin head leaving just a thin ring. Aroma is strong mail and caramel. Flavor has roasted malts, oak, caramel, along with some dark fruits. Good robust flavor has some hints of sherry flavors, I assume from the oak aged ale blended in. This is one of the beers we tend to keep on hand all the time.

Dec 31, 2007 500ml bottle: poured brown with ruby notes and a finger-sized beige head. I thought the head would stick around a while but it didn’t. Flavor is light roasted malt and some dark fruits like raisins and figs. Mild burnt finish in the back of my throat. A good beer and typically English.

Dec 30, 2007 The aroma is roasted malt. The flavor is also malty with different burned tones. Where is the oak???
I was really looking forward for this, it sounded so good with the oak, but no...
