Aug 4, 2008 Pours a nutty red with a foamy and rich head. AB aroma with just an overrtone of oak, definitely a bit less kicky than the original. Very nutty and a moderate amount of bitterness. Very enjoyable and another quality bre from Stone.

Jul 31, 2008 The oak softens the onslaught of hop bitterness and alcohol. The aftertaste is nothing amazing, but the first taste you get is quite impressive, an almost nutty chocolate bitterness. and of course its well made like everything from stone.

Jul 30, 2008 7/5/08 at the Seattle International Beerfest. Aroma is alcoholic molasses forward and, not suprisingly, intensely rich. Appearance is brown with a well maintained cream colored head. Flavor is vanilla-like oak dominant, grainy, with medium bittering. Mouhfeel is medium bodied with a moderate carb texture. Overall, not great, but cool and complex .

Jul 29, 2008 Bottle: pours a cloudy, reddish brown with a frothy tan head, dark fruit aroma, taste is kinda flat, maybe that is how it is supposed to taste with oak aging? I also pick up a little bit of hops up front with a very dry and almost flavorless finish. I’m not impressed. Maybe I got a bad bottle?

Jul 28, 2008 12 oz single from Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville. Aroma of oak wood. Tastes like a mellowed arrogant bastard. Great beer.

Jul 27, 2008 The aroma really stands out as great: old oak barrels and some fruity aromas. The taste is initially quite hoppy, with a decent bite. After a few drinks it warms up and really releases a fruity and oak like flavor. A really nice drink. I haven’t had the ’regular’ one yet, but I am looking forward to it. Awesome brew.
