COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For 2007 the brewers have selected a blend of 7 malts and 7 hops to create our unique annual limited release. When you decide to open this, you will notice a pitch black ale that pours with small brown head. The aroma is full of citrusy and floral notes, not only from the hops added from the boil but also the hops added after fermentation, the dry hop stage. Finally, one taste of this years beer and you will understand why it is so dark, roasted chocolately and malty flavors are abundant from the various dark malts that make up so much of the recipe. It is extremely limited, extremely strong and extremely original, because as we like to say around here "Its all about extremes!"

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 17, 2010
Low fill - and it shows. Pours muddy brown and flat. Unattractive. The aroma is strong, showing ample oxidation. That has rounded into soy sauce, vague toffee, and sherry. Like a thin SA 3Bock. Toasty, with light milk chocolate. Has a bit of alcohol. The body is thin and the oxidation is perhaps a bit too much.
