From a 3$ can from vintage. Pour is like darker iced tea. Aroma is rather malty. First taste is surprizingly mild roast, wasn't expecting that. Hints of dunkel in there. Yes, somewhat vienna. Not sure if I can pick out the oak aged in there. Its not totally in yer face. Comes across rather mild for a 5.5 percenter. Yes, some nuts, perhaps. Not bad for a vienna.

Crisp Caramel malt nose. Deep brown, but still a bit translucent, with a thin bit of foam. Nutty caramel malt taste. Can't get much oak, which is hit our miss anyway, but there's a definite edge of unfiltered yeast. Very agreeable. Still kind of hearty and filling in the way of a fall seasonal, yet alcohol goes down easy and makes it almost sessionable.

12oz can. Deep amber-brown body, unfiltered. Rather unique, not really anything like the recent wave of Mexican Lagers...this is way deeper, maltier. The oak takes it a step further. Deep caramel tone with a touch of vanilla from the oak. Doesn't really seem to nail it as far as the lagering, but the oak covers up a lot of subtleties. Unique, OK.
