Republic of Boulder Oak Brown

Draught. Head is fully diminishing. Body is light brown. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), with notes of wood, apple, and allspice. Flavor is lightly sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation. At first I thought it might be a cask conditioned brown ale, but the oak presence was so out front that it may just be chipped (not to mention the head in the mug this was poured from was enormous). Has a slight holiday spice aroma as well. Rather thin and watery, though, and on the bland side. Interesting experiment, but this didn’t work for me.
