A near perfect example of a black bavarian. 2nd only to Sprecher!!
Red oak makes many good beers. They even import thier water from germany Im told.
However they now have changed the style to a bock....Yet to try it.

Dec 24, 2008 On tap this beer pours a dark chestnut with a decent creamy head. Aroma of chocolate, malts and hops. The taste is the same with the chocolate being the big one to come through. Not a bad beer - I enjoy this one much more than Red Oaks lager offering.

Sep 22, 2008 Draft from Carolina Theatre in Durham. Dark brown pour with almost no head. Roasty, almost burnt aroma. Burnt sugar, caramel, molasses, malt, and not much else. A little metallic flavor. Better as it warms. Very thin palate.
