Commercial Description:
Dominion Oak Barrel Stout is rich and smooth, a draught brew so popular at our Brewup that we found a way to bottle it for a wider audience. We combine seven different malts and two hops to create a delicious stout, that we dry-hop with fresh vanilla beans and toasted oak to finish our little treasure. The result is a stout that has the bourbon barrel flavor we all enjoy, and hope you will to.

Note: made with oak chips and vanilla beans, not aged in barrels. Available bottled and draft outside of the brewpub.

A brown beer with a disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet wtih notes of wood and prunes, while the flavor is sweet and dominated by the wood, but also some roasted notes. But the body is thin.

Bottled. Opaque black, not that much of a head. Smells of coffee, vanilla and a bit of caramel. The taste goes well along with the aroma. The taste misses something though (compared to aroma, which was very promising for the beer).

Funny appearance. It looks dark brown but there’s not a whole lot of light getting through regardless. The aroma mixed oak, vanilla and coffee. Very sweet flavour with lots of vanilla and oak, to the point where it overwhelms the stout character it ought to have. Those coffee notes go so far back in the background and you won’t find much hop here at all. A bit unbalanced but okay if vanilla is your thing.

Black color, creamy head. Aroma and flavor of coffee, mild therefore pleasant, medium bodied, and no traces of barrel.

2005-09-25, bottle at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 7-3-6-3-12=31
Dark brown color; thin head. Woody caramel aroma, vanilla. Malty taste, roasted malt, thin mouthfeel, simple final.

(bottled 4-8-04) Medium tan head atop a red black body. Aroma is sweet, bourbon, roasty, chococoffee, mild vanilla. Taste is sweet, roasty/burnt, bourbon, caramel, light vanilla, finishing roasty coffee bitter. Nice beer, but a bit thinner than I recall the brewpub-draft version.
