Jul 2, 2005 Rich amber copper colour poured forth. Hops abounded - those fresh floral wafts of glory surprised me somewhat. Refreshing malty mouthfeel followed nicely by a hop kicker. I quite enjoyed this - best I’ve had from Black Oak.

May 2, 2005 Papery nose, but nice caramelly flavor covers up the fact that this is probably a bit old. Bit of a firey bite at the finish, and, by the time this warmed up, it had a pleasant malty nose.

Sep 15, 2004 Golden cream with trace white head. Aroma of tobacco, sunflower seeds, and peaches with some oak. Thin mouthfeel watery flavors of raisins, white chocolate with a moderate amount of bitterness.

Aug 30, 2004 Deep brown, clear, with a fine white head. Toffee, chocolate, and nuts on the nose. Med body w/lingering finish. Flavors of nut,carmel and some hops on the end. Overall great session brew!

Jun 18, 2004 poured a crystal clear caramel color with a thin to non existent layer of fine bubbles..metallic/canned vegitable aroma with notes of oxidized raisins...mellow raisiny, slightly sweet but kinda bitter flavor..melted toffee...slightly grassy or organic and earthy...with more raisiny flavors...not too shabby really..maybe a bit oxidized.

Jun 13, 2004 Raisins, caramel and sugar in a lightly acidic aroma. Clear tan colour with pillowy off-white head that recedes to cover. Some lacing. Flavour is nicely balaanced if simple - caramel malt, touch of roastiness, a bit acetic, flowery hops and good bitterness. A touch of buttery diacetyl works well. Medium-light body with adequate carbonation. Simple, well-made, middle of the road but not very exciting. Bottle (sampled at Mondial RB Gathering 2004 with CapFlu, CaptainCougar, JerCraigs, MartinT, OKBeer, Radek and Rastacouere).

Jun 11, 2004 Tried before, but finally getting around to rating based on what I had at St. Lawrence beer show. The beer had thinned out a bit since I last tried it, but it was still assertive in its flavours - lots of caramel and nuttiness mixed with a strong citrus nose profile. The bitterness is still there at the end. This is a fine beer.

Jun 7, 2004 Shining orange with ruby hints and a thin beige head. Caramel biscuits aroma, candi sugar, maybe a bit oxidized as the sweetness overpowers the nose in a watery way. There’s a lot of caramel flavor, but it’s not so malty in mouth. Something vegetabley, cookies, weirdly tart. Bitter finish. I’m not much of a fan of this one I must say. Medium carbonation, thin-medium body.
