Oaked Butt Head Bock

Bottled. Dark pour dark fruit and rum aroma. Serious vanilla notes and rum raisiny taste.

Bottle. A really fine beer. Compared this one and the regular Butt Head Bock at the same time. When compared, one can really taste the oak flavor. Oak was better, but not by much. It was good. But would be probably a bit much if drinking several. May want the regular kind in that case. Highly recommended.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is oaky, overriped fruity and almost oxidised. Thick caramelish malty, breadish, bitter, dry and roasted malty. Ends dry and dense caramelish. Bitter and dry malty finish, light alcohol presence.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of Doodler. Pours an almost clear deep amber with a small and creamy beige head. Sweet oaky aroma. Rich body, sweet caramel aroma, quite some oak - and an unfortunate, strange chemical edge to it. No real bitterness. Not entirely hot. 260412

Deep dark ruby, copper and amber tinted body with a thin, fast-dying tan head, a very nice look, especially when held up to a light. Aroma of super strong oak scents with more wood in the nose than anything else, but some raisins, concord grapes, figs and a bit of malt come through. Full, perhaps Medium-bodied; Effervescent mouthful at first with a big bite of oak at first, then fades to a lighter spiciness, some pungent fruits, a touch of alcohol and a dry, woodsy and herbal flavour near the end. Aftertaste shows some complexity, but largely taken over by the oak and pitted fruits. Overall, a nice interesting beer with some good flavours and some rather pungent and strong tastes. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 20-July-2011 sampled at home in Washington on 07-October-2011.

Bottle from Supermarket Liquors in Fort Collins, CO. Pours very dark and hazy amber with a transient beige head. Guessing this is oak chip rather than used barrel. Aroma is raw oak and dark fruit. Full bodied with creamy/frothy carbonation. Flavor is brown sugar, dark fruit and wood/oak. Nice balance of malt by oak. Drinks nicely.
