12oz - Aroma is malty with some citrus hops. Pours transparent brown with a small head and good lacing. Flavor is cardboard hops, sweet caramel and a citrus twang in the back. Palate is tart and sticky. Not bad but something throws me off.

Bottle. Sweet floral hops aroma. Red amber color with a whispy off-white head. Bitter dominates the flavor, dry, biting but with a nice mouthfilling floral sweetness. Medium bodied. solid.

Pours a lightly hazy, dark caramel brown color. A foamy, beige colored head shows nice retention, leaving delicate ribbons of lacing behind. The nose shows a good deal of toasted caramel malts and glazed biscuit notes, balanced out by a decent amount of citrus and grassy hops. The flavor follows suit, with toasted, sweet caramel and some buttery toffee complementing the dry, citrusy, grassy hop billing. Well balanced, smooth, and easy to drink. Medium bodied. Finishes pretty clean. Perhaps a touch too sweet for a session brew, but nice nonetheless.

Lightly hazy dark gold to amber colored body with a lightly off white head. The aroma is light oranges with some walnuts. There is also a decent fresh biscuit character. The taste is light toffee and black tea. There is also a little bit of apple hints behind those flavors. This would be a decent beer, but it is almost void of hops in the taste.

had this one many years ago and didnt care for it. had it recently and it was much better than i remembered. no real aroma, but lots of other nice stuff. Flavor is dry and bitter, with a good mix of hops and spice, with a nice dry, crisp finish.

12oz bottle. Creamy, tan head, quickly dissipating. Decent, if not thin lacing. Copper in color. Hints of tropical fruits, caramel, hops. Dangerously smooth. Probably Oaken Barrel’s best offering.
