Taster at GABS Auckland 2017. Pours dark brown. Oak, raisins, figs, biscuits. Nice scotch ale with a subtle barrel addition. Good.

Brewdog Clapham. Keg. Hazy red - amber beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Thin creamy malts. A nice touch of oaky vanilla, a touch more wood than vanilla. Mild port wine must. Light semi dry finish. Nicely done light barreling.

Keg at BD CJ. It pours deep mahogany brown with a tiny tan rim. The nose is malt-driven, brown bread, very woody, earth, toasted grain, dried leaves, dirt, light vanilla and dried fruits. The taste is actually quite light, yet rather oaky, spicy action, alcohol warmth, dry wood, charred stuff, light vanilla, leather, dark fruits in the background, light cherry. Lingering finish of oak and leather. Medium body and fine, soft carbonation. Surprisingly one-dimensional. There are elements of this I like, but they don’t present themselves in a particularly cohesive manner.

Keg at the Brewdog CJ new Zealand tap takeover. Dark copper / brown coloured pout with a fading off white head. Aroma is woody oak, vanilla, oak barrel, toffee, brown sugars. Flavour is composed of thin woody tannin, oak, tannin, vanilla, burnt toffee, woody. Palate is semi sweet, wood tannin. Little solvent alcohol in the finish.

Not quite retired it seems. Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy dark amber with a thin broken white head and some broken lace. The aroma is sweet malt, sticky toffee caramel fudge. The flavour is moderate sweet with a rich bubbly sweet malt, light vinous oak palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A big sweetie with and awesome nose.

Pours brown with a small head.Nose shows rich oak characters including vanilla and coconut, while the malt provides chocolate and caramel notes. Really interesting oak characters.Similar flavours, much the same in terms of coconut-like oak followed by more caramel and chocolate. Carbonation seems a little excessive.Feels a bit like the base beer can’t support this level of oak, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
