Organic Pale Ale from Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe
18 years ago
7.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Hazy amber, golden color. Peaches, apples, minerally nose. Fairly fragerent for an English style PA. Hops bust through, apples, oranges, peaches and a bitterness hits the back of the mouth. Well balanced moderately bitter finish.

Kölsch from Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe

5.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
On tap at RedOak - Dark golden color. Fruity and butter in the nose. Soft mouth feel, but butterscotch and caramel dominate and just ruin anything decent. Infection problem?

Cloudy golden color, but odd hop profile in the nose. Light and refreshing, but aftertaste is too hars. Not really to style.

Rauchbier from Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe

Reddish-brown colour. Smokey nose with some tartness. Fizzy, slightly tart but with a smooth smokiness. Has body issues, probably because of the sloppy QC that’s allowed this thing to keep fermenting. The smoke character is pleasant, though, so if they dial it in a bit better they might have themselves a beer.

Belgian Chocolate Stout from Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe
18 years ago
3.6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
Hazy darkish-brown. Crackery nose with a powdered chocolate note. Less powdery on the palate, adding a bland woodiness and hints of chocolate. Too fizzy for any of these vague sweet hints to do anything on the palate. And where’d they put the stout?

6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Very pale. Took some work to get any sediment out of the bottle and into my glass. The head didn’t hold. It’s billed as Weihenstephan yeast, full-on Bavarian but it smells Berliner to me with that clean tartness and vague gooseberry notes. Vaguely tart on the palate with hints of lime. Not a bad beer, but not remotely Bavarian.

Honey Ale from Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe
18 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Hazy. Very pale. Quick bubbles. Flowery bouquet but also a little gamey. Sweet flavour with a cool/crisp honey snap alongside light melon and flower accents. Slightly yeasty but otherwise fairly refreshing finish. Not a bad honey brew.

Christmas Cheer from Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
(Bottle 25 cl) Courtesy of highlandlad. Clear, dark brown with a reddish hue and a small, beige head. Aroma of fruit, roasted malt and woody notes. Quite full-bodied with sweet notes of fruit and hard roasted malt - and then again these accents of wood. Subdued bitterness. Fairly unique and very pleasant. 171207

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
25 cL bottle. Pours deep red with a fully gone head. Mild woody note of oak. Flavour is quite woody with a solid malt flavour. Finish is mild caramel malty with more of the same woody note. Nice but also a bit vague compared to other oak aged.

Eisbock from Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe

8.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 8.5
I didn’t realize until I went on RB that this puppy measured in at 14%. I must say that it seemed much lighter. I found this Eisbock didn’t have the cloying sweetness that I find in others and still managed to have the depth of molassess, milk chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, cherries and oranges. It finishes warming with lingering brown sugar notes. Very nice.
