Hop Bomb from Black Oak Brewing
13 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Cask at Volo, Toronto, as Hop Bomb Dry Hopped IPA
Muddy deep blond color with frothy head. Delicate aroma of citrusy hops. Low carbonation, lean body, nice and dry malt flavor, delicate hopping, with nice qualities but not shouting; a bit grassy in the end. Delicate and interesting.

Bottle at C’est What, Toronto
Hazy red-amber color; small head. Nice aroma of caramel and hops, a bit sweaty. Good toffee flavor; the mouthfeel is lean, no crystal; strong bitterness, providing nice orangey resins, and a tea final. Long end.
Very good, powerful but easy to drink.

Saison from Black Oak Brewing

7.5/10
Pears, mild hops, banana, very mild spicing and ends with a twinge of sweet fruit, like tropical fruit. Very vague tartness.

Thanks, Doug! Hazy orangey-amber. The aroma is a chewy, oxidized hop. I think as an XI this is from 2011, so it’s been aged a bit. The palate is actually a bit light and soft, though with some chewy crystal and oxidized hop character. There’s a touch of alcohol in the finish. Fits the style.

a lot of these saisons ive been having recently in this Ontario saison wave have tasted dangerously close to lagers. This smells a touch like hay, a touch like barley. Theres at least a little bitter follow through, nice and grassy. Pours golden lager, slight lacing. At least it gets a little better as it goes. On tap at barvolo

Black Abbey Black IPA from Black Oak Brewing

5.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
Smells like mild hops, a little bitterness. Looks kind of ruby black with some lacing. No fruit, no citrus, no nothing. Just bitter. Not sure where the abbey comes into this. It’s just a low to average American IPA. Not even much roast that you would expect in a BIPA. On tap at barVolo.
