12oz bottle poured into a pint glass

Pours slightly cloudy coppery with a small clear-pale head, medium amount of slow fine carbonation. Little flakes of sediment drifting around the bottom. Smell is musty, damp, slightly smoky.

Taste is heavily influenced by the oak, very woody, which makes me think of a lot of barleywines I've tasted (without the heavy alcohol flavor, of course). Plenty of hops behind that, with some citrus and floral characteristics. Fairly sweet.

Mouthfeel is pretty light. Overall, this is a nice beer.

12 oz bottle. bottled on July 17, 2012. served into a nonic pint.

A: a reddish hue. hazy, but nothing crazy. head is slightly off-white. retention I great. lacing I spotted.

S: very woody. a lot of cedar. with the hops, smells similar to a cupcake.

T: very sweet, slightly vanilla. a little woody. a serious oak/tannin flavor that is prevalent but not overbearing. the oak plays nicely with the amount of hops that are behind this brew.

M: average carb on a medium/full body.

D: good, but similar to most things of the style, not a brew that should be oak aged. not sure how much time affected this (being about 8 months old...), perhaps the hops would have been more in the forefront and the oak would be a side-note...? who knows. good, but not great is my conclusion.
