Aug 16, 2009 33cl bottle. Pours pale amber with a medium head. Nose is a bit skunked, a bit citrusy with some caramel. Some light vanilla. Taste of sweet caramel. No evident bitterness. Some oak. Quite straight forward. Quite drinkable and somewhat refreshing. Interesting beer.

Aug 11, 2009 I can appreciate people liking this beer, personally it just doesn;t sit well with me. I has a decent nose, vanilla honey and a strong, sweet taste agian of vanilla and honey and a element of scotch /oakiness. Perhaps it is the sweetness but I don;t find this one easy to drink. Nice idea though

Aug 7, 2009 For whatever reason, I had never had this, thinking that all the old supermarket bottles must have over-halogen lit and hence skunked. So i picked up a fresh-y one at whole foods. Poured as it looks in the bottle (duh), taste is like butter toffee cookies after english tea. Really. And that’s a good thing.

Aug 5, 2009 Bottle from daknole--thanks Dakine! Cool bottle, me a no happy that it’s clear. Yep, it is a little skunked nosing it after the clear amber pour with a one finger off-white head. There is also some diacetyl and lots of caramel. Faint oak is present with maple syrup and honey. Damn--sweet! Flavor mimics the aroma just fine, which isn’t really fine at all. So much diacetyl. Minimal bitterness in the semi-dry slightly woody finish. Light prickly carbonation with a medium-light body. Me no likey.

Source:Bottle purchased while in Dublin.
Glass:Yazoo Hop Project pint.
Appearance:Clear amber/gold pour with a two finger white head that quickly dissipated.
Aroma:Very clean malty aroma with a hint of oak and peat.
Flavor:Up front a clean maltiness dominates. This quickly gives way to the oak and vanilla from the barrel. Excellent.
Palate:Medium body with solid carbonation.
Overall:I wasn’t sure what to expect here, especially with the low rating. I am very pleased with the oakiness. Would love to have more.

Jul 20, 2009 Updated: Aug 18, 2009Bottle. 6.6%. @ Metro Billiards in Edmonton. Beautiful honey/amber colour with a creamy white foam. Taste of honey, toffee, and the oak casks used are present in the flavour. An expensive beer here at home, but a rare treat.
