golubj (1275), Sunnyvale, California, USA Oct 13, 2007 Draft at Barcade. This was like my fifth or sixth beer, so I don’t remember it too much. It was oaky. puzzl (2579), New York, New York, USA Jul 1, 2007 Draft at Hop Devil. Apparently this was the only keg made. Mildly oaky, vegetal aroma, complimented a wet, veggie taste. Slight oak in the finish. A bit pungent, tough to drink, and unexciting. I think the benefits the oak imparted on this beer were far less than the hit this beer took from aging -- that is, losing most all of its character. Some beers were not meant to be aged: this is one of them.
