Dec 6, 2009 Bottle. Nice flavours. Aroma of spice, apple and cherries. Flavour is sweet, a bit sour, and long-lasting. Oily in the palate, and medium-bodied. Dark brown colour, and a fizzy head.

Sep 2, 2009 [Bottle] Pours reddish brown with a tiny light tan head. Aroma is mostly spice, along with a lot of raisin. Taste has a good deal of raisin again, along with cinnamon, ginger, pear, some roasted malt, plum, a little orange zest, vinous notes, and nutmeg. Medium mouthfeel, with a long finish. I had this at around a 3.6 when cold, but the longer that I drank it and allowed it to warm, the more the taste grew on me. Maybe I was just in the mood for something like this, but I really liked it, and it was quite like a dessert in a glass. With a little tweaking, this could become a really stunning drink.

Aug 21, 2009 Plummy as one would suspect but without being over the top. Spices and almost like a shiraz. Very nice. Redoak has not disappointed yet.

Jun 14, 2009 Clear dark amber of color with a small off white head. An aroma of spice, sweets and cinnamon. A flavor of spice, no sweets, more spice and cinnamon, dry and more spice. To much spice for me.

Apr 20, 2009 Small bottle. Cloudy brown pour with a rapidly receding head. Aroma of sour cherries and dates. Lovely sour ale character, spicy sour cherries, gingerbread. Slightly yoghurty lactic notes in the tart dry finish. Fantastic.

Apr 19, 2009 Pours dark copper, medium-sized tan head that quickly fades.
Aroma is a heady concoction of brandy, roasted malts, plums, toast, treacle a nutmeg. Quite a mouthful! Or nose-full, I guess.
Sweet/tangy/sour unripe plums provide a dominant flavour, which I really don’t remember from last time I had this? This is followed by some delicate roasted malt and finishes with some sweet cookie dough. Not what I expecting from a christmas ale, but very interesting and quite tasty! No bitterness whatsoever from hops or roasted malt.
Mouthfeel is quite oily/slick. Good carbonation though.

A beer from my favourite australian microbrewery!
Apperance: Dark brown with a minimal head. Minimal lacing too.
Aroma: Fruitcake, Berries, Wood, Roasted malt.
Flavor: Fruit, Christmas pudding, Berries, Spices (nutmeg among others), Roasted malt.
Palate: Smooth and rich. Starts of quite sweet but there is a hint of bitterness at the end. Very drinkable despite it’s huge flavorprofile!
An excellent beer from Red Oak in Sydney / Australia. I hope i can get to try more of their beers at my next visit!
