A tasteful treatment of cacao nibs and hand-processed vanilla beans lace the golden waves of this wheatwine-style ale with a subtle savoriness reminiscent of white chocolate. Notes of coconut, honey, caramel, and vanilla intertwine seamlessly in this bourbon barrel-aged treat.
Old Notes: The primary component of our “White Oak” ale is a 100% barrel aged wheat wine that we affectionately refer to as “White Oak Sap.” Essentially a “summer” barley-wine style ale, but made with a wheat heavy grain base, White Oak Sap is aged in used bourbon barrels for nearly a year and comes out rich in flavors of coconut, honey, caramel and vanilla. To compliment the already rich flavors of the beer, we’ve added cacao nibs and vanilla beans to give this beer the delicate flavor of white chocolate…hence the name.

I walked into a bottle share on my second trip to On-Tap. Can't tell the age on the bottle. Short pour into a 5oz glass. Murky, dull brown ale, almost flat. Most likely older bottle. Boozy, some smoke, soy sauce nose. Intense caramel candy & diffused bourbon, extra sugar, bittersweet, peanut oxidation, headache level sugar, pound cake. Just too much.

29 October 2021. Third Great Timternational Beer Geek Tasting. Cheers to the Ghent beer crew!
Vintage 2020. Clear amber, thin, off-white head. Aroma has lots of green apple (acetaldehyde), bourbon, vanilla, pear, wood, 'Twix' bar, caramel, apricot. Taste has sweet apricot, date & green apple in a caramelly, honey-like, generally low chocolate-like malt body, touch of vanilla cream, bit spicy. Peppery hoppy finish, apple & apricot candy notes lingering as well as quite boozy bourbon alcohol. Medium to full body, thin oily texture, average carbonation. Feels young, thin, and somewhat besides the point. Disappointing.

Nose smells like a brownie. Cold, it is just a standard light body wheatwine. Warmer, the vanilla comes a bit more thru

Efter Dipa provning kör vi en öl från Världens enligt oss bästa bryggeri. Förhoppningar är alltså mye höga. Ölen doftar åhhhjjjj fiiin bourbon med lite vitt vin. Doften är mycket bättre än vad jag klarar beskriva med ord. När jag klunkar känns ? Typ madeira, vitt vin blandat med lite russin och bourbon i PERFEKT balans . SUPERGOD öl igen från bruery. Bourbon är återgiven helt perfekt balans från bruery. Åhhhh

Aus der Flasche (2017 Edition / 15.8%) im 2021-02 getrunken. Dieses orange, kupferfarbe Barley Wine mit hell beiger Schaumkrone hat eine deutliche aber wohl dosierte Vanilienote. Die Bourbonfass-Einfluss und dadurch das Aroma ist schon nicht besonders komplex, sondern wird fast schon recht einfach. Erinnert mich fast an ein Innis & Gunn Original. Der hohe Alkohlgehalt ist sehr gut eingebunden, aber der Körper wirkt überrascht sehr leicht und somit ist das Bier fast schon gefährlich süffig. Ein echt leckeres und wunderbar ausgewogenes Barley Wine!
