Commercial Description:
A pale wort made from British Maris Otter is boiled for 12 hours to provide Ølfabrikken Oakwine with an deep sweet caramel flavor. The fermentation is based on our Vinter Ale and done with both an American and Belgian yeast, which together with Simcoe hops, present itself with a strong fruity aroma of apples and kaki. A long maturation on oak provides notes of vanilla.
Ølfabrikken Oakwine is, of course, unpasteurized, unfiltered and cask conditioned like all of our beers. Only available on tap.

<b>Draft at Ølbaren, Cph.</b> Huge nose of winegum, sweet candy and some notes of oak. Unclear dark brown body with a ruby tint, medium sized off-white head. Flavor of sweet candy, light woody, very sticky flavor and mouthfeel.

&#40;50cl bottle&#41; Pours a hazy brown body with virtually no head. Aroma of cedar, cherry, citrus, florals, toasted bread, vanilla, and light chocolate. Flavor of wood, caramel malt, cherry, and raisins with a dry, bitter finish.

<i> <b> Bottle kindly passed to me by Kim Johannson in a beer swap at the EBF, Kobenhaven Sept 08 consumed 22-10-08 cheers Kim </i> </b> Pours murky puddle water colour with no head. Hops on nose but they are having to compete with wood, vanilla and spirit. Taste is big woody, some nice vanilla and bourbon, its a little bit buttery at times also, hops become more and more noticeable and pronounced as you get through through it and take the edge of the slighty sweet brown sugaryness that shows. I quite liked this.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with no head, and a thick, hazy amber body with decent alcohol legs. Aroma of oak, burboun, raisins, vanilla, light hops &#40;distinctly simcoe&#41;, and brown sugar. Aroma is right up my alley, and very good. Taste, is brown sugar, maple syrup, raisins, caramel, vanilla and alcohol &#40;although it is decently well hidden&#41;. Very syrupy, and like wine, with practically no carbonation at all.
