Cask at Whole Foods on Cambie, Vancouver; 12oz
This was brewed about 3 months ago.
Murky brown color with small to no head. Still decently chilled at the tine of pour. Differently from most BC breweries, Steel & Oak managed to get a deep malt aroma and flavor out of this beer, then combined with a large amount of vanilla oakiness; it’s robust, sweet, strong bodied. Almost smokey in the final, must be the wood, and sweet tobacco leaves.
Very good, and it should play very well with the wine barrels for the next release. It would actually deserve a bit higher score, if it were cleaner.

Cask, Whole Foods Cambie. Muddy light brown with a thick head. Aroma is figgy, sugary. On the palate the oak chips lend a noticeable character and their influence on the beer, cutting the sweetness and rounding out the rich figs and estery base beer is a welcome influence. This BW definitely will appreciate a barrel program. n fact, I’m not 100% sure I would want this without the oak chips.

Draught @ Alibi Room. Hazy and amber, with a bunch of toastiness, and really just a yeasty note, and mostly just a boring ESA..

"Casks for Kwantlen" event, at BRB, Richmond
Murky dark amber, or brown color, small head. Sweet but not syrupy, quite nice malt flavor; the oak and elderberries add interesting elements to the aroma and flavor, even a bit vinous.
A bit messy, but very interesting.

Draught at the brewery
Dark amber-brown color, cloudy, with medium sized non persistent head. Nice aroma of balsamic vinegar and spirit, old wood. It has a good body strength; the residual sweetness, the dark malts and caramel, the fruity acidity, the wood character and the spirit complement each other in the right way. Powerful and balanced. The rum doesn’t present itself as boozy. Infinitesimal traces of acetone in the final don’t compromise the brew.
Excellent.

650 ml bottle. Pours a hazy mahogany with full head. A messy gusher on opening - minus a point. Aromas of malt vinegar with vegetal and alcohol notes. The flavors are fortunately an improvement; vinegar, wood, sugar, and fruity rum with additional vinous notes. Interesting. A rummy Oud Bruin...

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a hazy dark reddish colour with a small beige head. Aroma brings out English malt and a little caramel. Flavour is fairly sweet, with notes of caramel, English malt and toffee. Medium-bodied, with a nicely sweet finish.
