5oz pour, hazy gold with some thin, white head. Wonderfully soft and sweet nose, corn, flowers, dough, yeast, malt, honey. Flavor is very true style, soft dough, buttery sandwich bread, dough, yeast, corn, flowers. I guess the oak chips help with the butter. Enjoyed this more than the draft unoaked version. 8 3 8 5 15

5oz pour is a murky black with a ring of beige head. Huge cinnamon sugar nose, sweet with malt and brown sugar and molasses, some cocoa powder. Flavor follows with huge cinnamon, not spicy but gently warming and earthy, cinnamon candy too, malt, brown sugar, cocoa. Finishes full bodied, a bit of heat. Cinnamon really hides the 13%. Drinks like a spiced porter. 8 4 8 5 15
