Apr 11, 2008 Very nice standard porter. Nice coffee, chocolate light hints and smooth. If this would be a little thicker it would be one of the best.

Apr 1, 2008 Thanks to tronraner for this one.
This Porter produces a thick tan head over an opaque black body.
Sweet roast malt aroma with nuts, chocolate and coffee.
Nutty flavor with just enough sweetness.
Firm and smooth.
Very drinkable Porter.

Mar 30, 2008 Nice aroma, ripples of chocolate and coffee fill the nose up as you begin to indulge. This is a little bitter than I would of wanted this porter to be, however the look is right and the smell is terrific. This is the first Oaken Barrel I’ve tried, interested to see the rest of the lineup.

Mar 12, 2008 Updated: Dec 9, 2008The best Oaken Barrel I’ve had. Very very solid porter. Pours light black with a perfectly tan head. Not much in the way of lacing. Aroma is chocolate and roasted barley. Flavor seems to change with every sip, but the dominate flavors are the roasted barley and malt, with some slight chocolate and licorice floating around. Fairly complex for a porter, if a little watery. A great local brew.

Mar 6, 2008 Bottle courtesy of stfun. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Smells of chocolate, some spice, molasses. Tastes of roasted malt, some bitterness, some licorice. Mouthfeel is full bodied and oily. Finish yields lots of complimentary spiciness. Very good!

Dec 18, 2007 Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in an English pint glass. This porter poured near black with a one-finger thick head of dark tan foam that quickly settled down into a thin layer. Thick lacing coated the entire glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of creamy chocolate and coffee notes. The flavor consisted of mild chocolate and roasted malt notes, lightly bitter coffee, and just a hint of a hope bite. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with a good dose of carbonation. A very solid effort.
