Southern Tier Oak Aged Un*Earthly

Poured medium amber, caramel, wood, vanilla, butter, hops, spice, little citrus.

From the Bottle at RBESG Harlequin, Sheffield 19/07/2009 Very hoppy aroma. Amber coloured rich on the palate and hoppy with a crisp and slightly bitter lasting finish.

22 ounce bottle shared by footbalm at his big tasting. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is heavily hops, pine and citrus, light oak. A lightly hoppy flavor, lots of oak and smooth malts. Sweet and mellow, yet very good.

Bomber. Pours lightly chill-hazed orange amber with a thin white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, citrus, pine and toffee. Fairly full body, moderate carbonation. Sweet taste of pineapple, caramel. The oakiness shows toward the end and seems to build as I sip it more. Lingering pine and oak finish.

Oak and lots of hops for the aroma, the foam is not visible for very long time, but that is due to the high alcohol. Taste is amazing with the bitternes.

Bottled. aroma has wood, pine, citrus, some caramel. Clear, amber coloured with an oof-wite, lasting, medium head. The taste is quite bitter, has sweetness, some brandy, citrus, wood. Sticky palate. The oak aging is not to overwhelming and adds some nice balance to the heavy hopping. Very nice brew.

22oz bottle. A huge oak and malty aroma starts this one. Nice copper color with about an inch of tan head. Sticky and sweet is the best way I can describe this flavorful beer. A lot of caramel and a medium warming at the end. The ABV is well hidden.
