Served from tap into a shaker. Poured a dark red brown with a minimal off-white head. Maintained nice lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of roasted malt, earth, spice, and dark chocolate. The flavor was of sweet malt, dark chocolate, cream, nutty, and earth. It had a light feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Overall this was a pretty average brew. This one really seemed quite bland if I am honest. All of the right notes were there, but they seemed to just mix together rather than work in unison to enhance each other. Really disappointed in this one. I suggest you try it at least once, but I would stop at that if it were me.

A-Pours dark brown, nearly black with a tan head. The head dissipates rather quickly and leaves no lacing.

S-chocolate dominates, with hints of coffee and toffee

T-similar to the nose as the flavor is dominated by chocolate and roasted malts. No real hop presence to speak of.

M-not as thick as I would have guessed, but it has a nice full bodied mouthfeel

D-very drinkable as its not overly roast

Overall, this is a pretty good beer that I would recommend others to try. It has more flavor than the traditional Red Oak.

on-tap at the brewery

Appearance is a very dark brown with a beige head,. Smell is lightly roasted malts and that unmistakeable lager smell. Roasted malt comes out again in the taste with the lager following up and finishing with some bitterness. A hint of alcohol as it warms. Mouthfeel is medium-heavy a bit creamy, and dry.

An obvious graduation of the brewery's other beers: darker, heavier weight, more flavorful... Not a bad bock at all but also not the best.
