Big pounder can gift from the daughter in NC. Pour is hazy light brown. My can says 5%. Nose is typical fest beer, a small hint of sweet malt. First big swig is a little more personality than expected, must be the oak. Yes, that bitterness builds toward the middle, gets a little stronger as I continue the session. Maybe in the middle I'm getting some vanilla but that's mostly hidden from the astringent bitterness. Strongish fest beer, even tho its only 5%. Getting a little difficult near the end, must be that oak thing. Never liked the flavor influence of oak in my brews. JMHO.
