Oct 22, 2007 Mint, vanilla, caramel and chocolate in the aroma. Opaque and murky tan-brown body is topped by a dense, fine bubbled white head that lasts well and coats the glass as it descends. Nutty flavour is strong and the hops shine through nicely. Oak is subdued and offers a pleasant counterpoint. Medium body with creamy smooth carbonation and very soft, quiet but lasting carbonation that works really well. A very well-crafted beer although, I’m still not entirely sure it’s my thing... Sampled on cask at Dix (Caskival 2007).

Aug 6, 2007 Cloudy brown. Rich head. Light caramel aroma with graham crackers. Light palate, but the oak exerts a definite influence. Nicely balanced - the oak livens up this normally staid brew, lends a hint of tartness in the finish and that cuts through the sweetness while leaving behind all the nutty brown ale character. I really like what the oak does to this brew - this should be a permanent change.
