Nov 1, 2005 Updated: Nov 23, 2005Overblown and overpriced. Aroma put me in the mind of boiled peanuts, grain, dough and moss. Good bottle - needs to be brown. Color of cream sherry, white head. Light smoke, sweetish, whiskey, clear flavor. Finish is quick and coldwater. Decent, drinkable, but left me looking for more. Finishes medium-light sweet and vanilla. Bottle at David Copperfield’s, NYC, 3rd HHR trip

Sep 5, 2006 Bottle: Pours a transparent light copper orange, with mild effervescence leaving a clingy-lacing airy white head. Aroma of sweet toasty British caramel malt has a touch of oak and butterscotch. Body starts with a nice, light sugary sweetness revealing some soft woody mellow oak before a drier toasty finish. This could be more assertive, but still has a unique flavor and is very drinkable.

Jan 16, 2005 Bottled: Poured a nice amber/toffee colour with a big tightly packed head. Odd aroma - grassy, sappy wood, medicinal & malty. Flavours are big on malt, some toffee and an odd sweetness probably imparted by the oak aging. Has a very smooth medium body. An interesting beer, a premium bitter with a twist.

Sep 12, 2005 Amber color, faint head. A bit of soaked wood in the aroma. Smooth texture. Vanilla notes. Different brew. Warms the body nicely.

Jul 20, 2009 Special thanks to Kramario. Amber, white creamy head. Soft vanilla and caramel warm to just a hint of old oak. Light honey vanilla and caramel flavors balance on a touch of booze and wood. 6.6% shines. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation, quick dry finish. A touch basic, but still worth a try if given the chance…

Apr 3, 2006 Darkish amber w/ frothy off-white foam. Vanilla, caramel, oak & berries on the nose. Light, slightly grainy feel. Flavour is sweet w/ caramel & toffee notes & a whiskey-ish character in the finish.

May 11, 2009 Pours with a golden body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s lightly malty with notes of toffee, vanilla and wood as well as a light hoppiness. Light to medium bodied and smooth.

Nov 16, 2005 Poured amber with a vanishing white head. Apple aroma with a modicum of charcoal. Flavour is woody with buttery notes. Smooth too, with a slight hop angle. Alcohol not noticeable. The oak grows on me.
