wetherel (1565), Encinitas, California, USA Mar 2, 2009 New beer just by changing from american oak to french oak? I don’t think so, but whatever. I’m rating it, because others have. On cask at stone. Big fluffy head. Very roasty. Soft cask carbonation. Dryish. Oak aroma is subtle. Very soft and mellow other than the bit of roastiness. WeeHeavySD (2941), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Feb 27, 2009 Cask @ Stone today, right at the end of the cask, shared with wetherel. Pours black with a tan puffy head. Nose is smoky, roasty, malty and clearly oaky. The taste has some clear wood characteristics, and some nice sweet malts. badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA Feb 14, 2009 On cask at linkery. Dark brown with a creamy tan head. Sweet roasty oak aroma. Creamy palate. Chocolate and sweet oaky and roasty taste with a woody finish. Yum.
