Oakes Profile - Brewver

Rich gold, thin head, light fruity hop, full pale malt, good body. Oh, this is right on for Bavarian pils, despite the apparent Hamburg reference. I like it.

Medium amber-brown. Light toasty, some fruitiness, spruce needle accents, this is fine but it does have a “cask is about to turn” vibe to it.

Doesn’t look like much…dull brown. No head. Sticky, mapley, sugars and alcohol. This was such a groundbreaking beer…it’s hard to conceptualize and I had Millenium. Molasses and oak. Refined, fuck. Awesome.

Cloudy, thick head. Aroma is leather, earthy. Soft, sweet, nice pear, peach accents. Sweet and mellow, refined, only mild wildness. Very good.

Big aroma, nice barrel, comes across like a stout. Soft fruity, mellow barley wine fruit, light tree fruit and beautiful barrel.

Opaque, no head. Aroma has a touch of fruit, a touch of leather. On the palate, there’s mellow spice(maybe nutmeg & cardamom), light cherry, a bit of sweetness underpinning. Basically flat, letting the juiciness come through.

Dark brown, nice fruity character, a touch raisiny, good vanilla and a bit of bourbon. Well-balanced.
