Thanks to richlikebeer for this beauty. Batch 64. Pours a brown color with a medium white head. Has a great wood and carmel smell. Taste of wood, caramel with a little sweet finish. Very well blended in the flavor

Thank you richlikebeer. This is special. Slightly off-white foamy head. Caramel-brown color. Aroma of caramel, oak, vanilla, and honey. Flavor of caramel, vanilla, honey, and a touch of oak. Balance is just exceptional.

12oz bottle (2008) Pours burnt orange with a huge tan head that lasted for quite some time, nice lace left behind. Aroma is huge burnt oak, vanilla, bread, dark fruit and malt. Flavor is very much the same, burnt oak , vanilla, honey, caramel malt, finish is woody, honey and warming alcohol. Medium body and sticky, very nice beer! I wish I had another.

12oz bottle as a generous extra, Cliff or Brendan I think! Pours a cloudy dark gold with a medium head. Flowery, caramel bouquet. Sweet with a rosy flavor, vanilla, a little oak. Not dry or balanced enough, just too much sweet malt, kind of overbearing.

[Bottle] Pours a nice oaky brown with a fairly large, but not nearly as large as the regular version, head. Aroma is loaded with oak, lots of coconut and vanilla, and the base beer is definitely still there as well. Flavor matches the aroma very well, a nice graininess, alcohol is present, but nice and warming, and the oak really accentuates the malt sweetness and leaves some toastiness and tannins on the finish.

Deep amber colour with a small beige head. Aroma is pure candy, vanilla, oak and dark sweet fruit. Mouthfeel is slick, the body is medium full with flavours of sweet candy, fruit, light oak, liqour and a small fruity bitterness. Very well composed and drinkable.

Bottle shared by juiceisloose @ otakuden’s Vero Beach Throwdown. Pours cloudy caramel color with almost nonexistent head. Aromas of bread dough, vanilla and alcohol. Sweet caramel and dough flavors with some wood and vanilla. Slight alcohol burn. Medium to full body with soft carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel.
