Bourbon barrel-aged wheat-wine ale with cacao nibs and vanilla beans

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.

Draught, 10 cl pour. Pours a hazy amber-ish colour, with no head. Aroma's are sweet, vanilla, firm malt. Retronasal there's additional wood and booziness. Flavour is sweet, but not overly so, with some alcohol, light sour, light bitter. Strong alcohol feel. Medium bodied though. Long finish, woody and light bitter.
