3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Black in color, large pillowy light beige head, nice lacing. Soft charred wood and campfire on the nose. Otherwise it has a very freshly cut oak aspect. Strange. Not roasty like others, but
instead it seems like ash, charred wood, campfire, and fresh cut oak. Seems pretty full bodied. Finishes quick, and the flavor diminishes rather quickly. The fresh cut oak is rather bizarre, but welcomed. This one
is really different from the norm. I am actually kind of liking it. It almost seems more of a light smoked beer aged in oak, and it comes across as an Ale rather than a Lager. Yeah, very different.
