Aug 8, 2009 22oz. Bottle: Faint aroma of malts, slight nuts, slight grains, and some wet cardboard. Poured orange/amber in color with a small to medium-sized, creamy, dense, off-white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Barely sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor is light to medium bitter. Tastes of malts, oak leaves, nuts, slight grains, and a hint of caramel. Medium body. Slightly sticky texture. Average carbonation. Lightly bitter, caramel, malt, and nut finish.

Aug 7, 2009 A good solid pale ale, but the aging does little for a beer of this ABV. It was reasonably watery, even for the style. Would go down well in summer. Decent.

Aug 4, 2009 Bomber. Pours dark amber with nice thick tan head. Aroma is sweet malt, toffe, caramel and some hops. Flavor is malty with hops, toffee and caramel. Nice mouthfeel and carbonation. Pretty solid brew in my opinion.

Aug 1, 2009 Obviously I’m not a fan of oaked beers since i don’t really rate this. Last of my six pack I bought at the beerstore and I’ve been hoping i’d grow to love it but nah. Spicy nose with hints of rosewater, body tastes gently woody with some sweetness. Not a bad beer, just not one for me.

Jul 25, 2009 An amber beer with a decent head. Aroma of sweet malt. Taste is very smooth & goes down very easy. A little caramel, slightly bready & had a creamy mouthfeel. A very smooth beer with the tap version very creamy compared to the bottle.
