Meaning “blood of the oak,” Sang du Chêne features sour strong blond and triple ales aged in three large format oak vessels: foudres, puncheons, and hogsheads. The oak influences provide flavors of toasted sugars, vanilla, and spice, complemented by the bright acidity and fruity character of the beer.

Corked and caged 750ml from the lcbo. Cloudy orange pour with a large white head. Very sour nose. Lots of stone fruit, some horse blanket, wet hay, wet grass, loads of oak, hints of spice and vanilla and a sweet apricot. Lovely mouth feel, perfect carb. Finish is very funky, loads of brett, tart fruit, earthy oak, and some vinous notes. Light spice, sour stone fruit, incredibl complex and very drinkable for the alcohol content. Incredible stuff.

Poured from the tap (2017 vintage). Hazy golden orange with small white head. Mild tart stone fruit, gentle oak permeates through, mild tartness. Quite nice.

Bottle. A- Tangerines, funk, faint vanilla. A- Orange color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Tangerines, vanilla, tangy, oak. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, tangy finish. O- Fruitier than I expected and not too acidic. At 7 years old (2015), this was still pretty good, especially for $6 a bomber knowing how much Cascade usually costs. Lots of citrus and some funk.

On draught at Gourmet Haus Staudt. I'm usually a massive fan of Cascade and this one was a little less to my liking but still tasty. Nice oak throughout the aroma and flavor.

Clear golden blond colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have typical Cascade tart and funk. This style is a good vehicle for that. Well balanced.
