4.1/5 rDev -3.1%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

A- Looks great, nearly clear dark amber with reddish hue, a small head that settles to a wispy band on top; creamy, slippery lace.

S- Oak, caramel, bready malt, spices, booze. Piney hops.

T- Very well balanced between the oak, sweet maltiness, piney hop bitterness, and booze. Everything is there but it’s all very distinct. Nothing overwhelms the mix. Flavors definitely intensify as it sits and opens up, becoming more vivid and rich.

M- Very nice, on the full side with medium carbonation and a distinct creaminess.

O- Enjoyed the oaked version... try and have a few in my stable for when I'm craving some oaked maltiness.
