Sep 29, 2008 This beer pours a deep, slightly hazy amber with a thick, lasting, creamy head. It has a nice sour aroma and flavor that is balanced with a little underlying sweetness in the body of the beer. There are some woody notes followed by a balanced finish. Tasty. I’ll definitely get this one again.

Sep 23, 2008 Bottle. Mahogony beer with a light tan head. Big fruit aroma leading to salty, sake, and caramel notes. Sake, fruity, woodsy flavors - the actual beer is too hidden in the barrel notes. Medium body. Lingering sake, wood, and slight spice.

Sep 19, 2008 Pours a cloudy deep brown with a nice
tan head. Sweet, malty aroma with some caramel notes and a floral touch
from the hops. Smooth palate, but just a
bit syrupy with a tinge of astringency.
Rich malty taste with some caramel and
a bit of smokiness. Also a touch of citrus. Damn good. This brewery’s
products can be hard to find on the east
coast, but worth seeking out.

Sep 10, 2008 I honestly didn’t expect much...although being aged in oak Sake casks peaked my interest. This beer was impressive. Burnt orange with hints of crimson, this beer had a nice 2-inch off-white head. Aroma is oak, vanilla, brown sugar and darker fruit. Full-flavored, malt-driven, hidden alcohol. NICE!!!
