Commercial Description:
We turned our regular Damnation recipe into a Tripel. It is bittered with Tomahawk and has Sterling and Cascade in the mid-boil and finish. The beer was then aged on new American oak chips for two to three weeks.

3rd Annual Woodshop Tasting, 3/1/08. Thanks Chris! Easy drinking and pleasant. Very similar to the regular Damn in flavor, just smothered in oak and with a much softer carbonation and a lush mouthfeel.

Tasted at 2008 Woodshop hosted by cquiroga. Yellow color. Medium carbonation. Bretty phenolics in the aroma. No sourness. Kind of like an all-Brett beer. Easy to drink.

Sampled at cquiroga’s 3rd Annual Woodshop Tasting, 3/1/08. Thanks again Chris! Another rarity I was stoked to see make an appearance. Clear blond color with a bubbly white head. Light fruity phenols of pear, coriander and Belgian-style yeasts loft off the surface. Pleasant flavor of banana, pear and clove similar to regular Damnation. The oak aging is faint, I was expecting more prominence. Easy finish with a thinned body. Pretty damn good, but I don’t see it beating Damnation by much.

I tasted this beer at City Beer in San Francisco. It has the perfect balance between tart and oakey smoothness.

Managed to get a sample at the 3rd Woodshop tasting, thanks to cquiroga for opening. I like Damnation but this version adds so much more in complexity and is so smooth, I would certainly encourage Vinny to do this again - I want some bottles of my own. Yep.

This is not one of my favorite styles but this was dam tastey and enjoyable with a yellow look to it and a tiny and fading head.This beers ABV was present and the oaked flavor and smell was there, the finish was a little and yet smooth in its own way but i still like my dark strong beers more.CHEERS!

Clear golden/yellow body with a tiny beige head. Lightly sweet, oaky nose with vanilla, herbs, peach, pear and light pepper. Lightly sweet, spicy taste with lots of pepper, light cotton candy/honey, sweet oak and herbs. Medium/full body is soft with moderate, spritzy carbonation.
