Beat The Heat from Black Oak Brewing
14 years ago
6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
Had this right after the Nickel Brook saison and it pales in comparison. Not nearly the complexity. Smell is hard to pick out but theres some soft wheat reminiscent of a bad hefeweizen. Lacing is good as well as head retention. Taste holds bitterness and a little sourness but a pretty light palate. Tap at volos.

Double Chocolate Cherry Stout from Black Oak Brewing
14 years ago
5.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
1st April 2010
Opaque black beer. Nose of chocolate and wood. Light palate. Dark malt. Wood comes through loud and clear. Light unsweet chocolate with fairly subtle but sour cherry. Finishes dry. The name sounds promising, the beer is a bit of a let down. Okay but nothing special.

A hazed orange amber IPA with a thin fluffy off white head. In aroma, a strange sweet doughy malt, a tad cloying, strange fruit esters. In mouth, a rather grassy malt with grainy notes, rye, grassy hops, medium bodied. Cask at Ontario Cask IPA Challenge, April 21, 2012.

Pale Ale from Black Oak Brewing
14 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
A little hops, some character in a lemony sense, or at least some kind of citrus. Decent, even a little more interesting than your average pale ale. Had a sample of this at a stand in the lcbo. Worth finding again.

Nut Brown Ale from Black Oak Brewing
14 years ago
5.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5
Has a bit of oaky bitterness. Smells a little of roast malt but taste is basically watery. Smell is light, body is light. Probably the weakest beer I’ve had from a usually good brewery. Small bottle.

Double Chocolate Cherry Stout from Black Oak Brewing
14 years ago
6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
smells a little like cherry, a little like coffee, though the latter is much more prevalent. Palate cimes off a little thin, not a huge body here. Pours black with big head that dies down quick. On tap at volos

Roast coffee taste with a small hint of tree bark. There’s a bit of a sour aftertaste. Good thick palate, light carb.

10 Bitter Years from Black Oak Brewing

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Great bitter hops but not quite as bitter as a regular IPA. Creamier, thicker and a fuller taste behind just the bitter hops. Excellent.
