This is a darker offering from Black Oak. Rich smooth taste, slightly roasty and chocolaty. It’s a bit less hopped, but still has a fantastic balance with the malt.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Nut brown. Orangey nose. Sweet and medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. Light roasty malt with some careful orangey hops over. Low bitterness. Not thatmuch going on here.

Bouteille, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur brune et transparente. Nez malté de caramel toffee légèrement terreux et rôti, de noix et avec des notes de chocolat au lait, de houblon floral et boisées. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture moyennement crémeuse et légèrement huileuse. Goût de noix (qui dure toute la gorgée) avec des notes de chocolat au lait et boisées (fût de chêne) ainsi que des traces de fumée lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel toffee moyennement rôti et très légèrement terreux puis progressivement vient se rajouter un léger goût de chocolat noir et moyennement amer de houblon herbeux et floral avec un goût plus asséchant de noix et des traces de café. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de rôti, de houblon herbeux et de chocolat (notes de café) avec un goût asséchant de noix.

This brown ale pours a ???Dark brown? with next to no head unless poured from 3 feet. Scents are delicous with hints of nuts, roasted barley and a little coffee. First sip was roasty goodness with all around roasted flavours with a little coffee and chocolate. The palate is ongoing roastyness. Much better than the last 2 times I’ve had it!

Darker brown colour with moka head. Nice hoppy nose with a bit of malt. Nice malty mouthfeel wih just enough hops to pleasure the mouth, with nice citrus in mouth, and a wee bit of nuts. Yum. Yum.

I used to say that this beer had potential if they would get the malt extracted properly. Well, Ken from the brewery told me to try it again. Yup, they've got it right now. There is a lot more chocolate and toasted malt flavour now. A subtle nuttiness as well, and it really plays off the hops well (previously I felt it was overhopped). The finish is dry, almost smokey, and with good length. Well worth a pint or two.
