Light hazy copper gold colour with tiny off white head that goes to a thin lacing around the edges of the glass. Bready malts in the aroma. Flavour wise the beer has a somewhat acidic dry malt flavour I think this must be the rye in the mix. However with the Oak aged thing ..... I don’t know... I don’t really taste too much of that woodiness unless that is what I’m getting confused with the rye flavour.

Sep 25, 2008 (large bottle) deep amber with off white head. Aroma is all oak. Flavor was all oak and quite sour. Perhaps this bottle was going off.

Sep 1, 2008 Medium brown color with a low, tan head. Aroma of amber malts, rather sweet and caramel, with decent hops, wood, and rye. rich oak flavor, with rye and caramel malts. Buttery and creamy. Very nice flavor, distinctive, oaked like a chardonney. Some chocolate as well. Malty, buttery finish with a touch of sour. Very interesting and flavorful with complex malts. the rye is light but noticeable. Unlike the German varieities, more ale like. Slightly too sweet and buttery.

Aug 20, 2008 Orange-amber in colour with a off white coloured head, average retention, some lacing. The aroma is sweet, some lemon citrus and some grains. The flavour is thin and watery, sweet, grainy with some light citrus hops. Watery mouthfeel, light body, mild carbonation. Finishes grainy with some citrus, thin.
Oak aged? Rye? I never seem to get Trafalgar beers but for some reason I keep buying them if its new to me. Maybe only day they will make a beer that I actually enjoy.
