3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Oakes (10009) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 14, 2005
UPDATED: FEB 25, 2009 Reddish-brown colour with light caramel head. Seriously yeasty aroma - pineapple, feet, sawdust...smells a lot like my early homebrews, actually. Huge yeasty character, lots of alcohol. Chewy. Hints of rich caramel, wood, apple, tannins. Reminds a bit of Gulden Draak. I can see this becoming a love it or hate it beer. Which naturally means I fall in the middle. Thanks, IslandHaole! Note: A re-rate puts this a couple points higher for nice complexity and an Orvallish note.
