Cloudy brown. Rich head. Light caramel aroma with graham crackers. Light palate, but the oak exerts a definite influence. Nicely balanced - the oak livens up this normally staid brew, lends a hint of tartness in the finish and that cuts through the sweetness while leaving behind all the nutty brown ale character. I really like what the oak does to this brew - this should be a permanent change.
