As our world thaws, a roar bellows from the deep woodlands—shaking icy remnants from bowed branches. Oak Bear emerges from hibernation in our foeders to stake its claim as a new Tree House classic.
This beer begins as an English Brown Ale, with a distinct American hoppy twist. Aromas of toffee, caramel and bakers chocolate envelope the senses before giving way to resinous hops. We also taste brown bread, caramel candy, and a melange of dark fruits—all slightly tempered from their nap in our wooden vessels. Extended conditioning in our foeder softens the back end bite, while bolstering Oak Bear’s sweeter side with oaky tannins.

Pours a dark brown-black, with smallish head. Aroma is roasted grain, burnt toast, maybe some chocolate and caramel (it's a stretch). Flavor follows, with some woodiness. Mouthfeel is smooth.
