Single from Appalachian. I think this is old.
Pint glass at home. Slight foam over in the can.
Strong off-white head. Slightly jellied Vienna body.
Deep caramel, nougat-y nose.
Sweet nougat, grainy, subtle raisin oxidation, thin, half-flat.
Meh.

On tap at Havana 33 in Mooresville, NC.
Pours clear amber with a medium sized beige head, good lacing. Toasted malts, caramel, nutty, honey.
Not really my style, but this is very good.

Can stamped Best By 7/5/24 so assumed ~ 7 weeks old. A: Clear pale gold with a short, quick white head and little lacing. S: Green herbs and grassy notes with crackers or fresh bread malts. T: A lightly tart fruity note alongside the grass, herbs and doughy bread from the nose. Lightly sweet ending. M: Dry and crisp with average carbonation, light body and clean finish. O: Very nice pils but Red Oak does not post the ABV on the carton or the cans, which is annoying.

Roast and light caramel. Pretty sharp bitter for a dunkler bock, which I like. Black pour with good head and lacing. Some coffee. Pretty nice for style. Seems underrated because people don't understand style. Tap at

3 month old pint can A: Poured clear yellow gold with a small, fast falling head that left a lasting ring but little lace. S: Sweet doughy bread, herbal and floral hops, and a hint of corn. T: Sweet bread from the nose joins herbal and spicy hops before a dry, lightly honeyed and corn/vegetal aftertaste kicks in. A tad too sweet. M: Average carbonation, medium light body and a lightly oily feel. O: Solid in all areas but not outstanding in any.

Draft at Duckworth's. Pours a clear amber with a small bit of off-white foam that dissipates. Lovely bready malt aromas with some light peppery aromas as it warms. Smooth and clean, toasted malt, bready flavors and light peppery hops on the finish. A nice toasty lager.
