Oakes Profile - Brewver

Dark brown, no head. The aroma has a lot of vanilla, and on the palate you get a lot of alcohol, rich chocolate, cocoa, with a fair bit of sweetness, nice light bourbon.

8.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

Dark brown. The aroma has a lot of hazelnut, I mean a lot of hazelnut. Some nice umami richness, especially the cocoa toast. On the palate, lots of rich sugars, alcohol and a fair bit of hazelnut, with a good cocoa character as well. As usual, this is excellent.

Dark brown. The aroma is fairly chocolatey, but it's got a sort of a slick waxy character to the chocolate. It's sweet, there's just a bit of nuttiness, brown sugar. There's something with the base that isn't coming together, and I can't put my finger on it.

Foundation from 100 Acre Brewing

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

A little bit murky, with a thin head. This one is quite phenolic, fairly yeasty. On the palate, it's got a bit of yeastiness, less phenolic though there are phenols in the finish. The malt base is okay, it's a bit dry, and a touch of sweetness.

Pariah from Woven Water Brewing Company

8.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

Fairly thick. No head. Aroma has a lot of vanilla, and a lot of pistachio, that stuff overwhelms the stout. On the palate, thick and sweet, with a lot of nuts and vanilla, but there's a bit of alcohol, and some dark chocolate notes that come through. Rich, decadent.

Merci (Blend #05) from Side Project Brewing

7.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Cloudy. The aroma has a nice bit of brett, good stone fruit, it has medium acidity, lighter than this brewery's norm. Decent juiciness, again peach accents. Good balance. Off-dry wood note in the finish.

Overstory from Single Hill Brewing

Dark brown. Thin head. Has a nice bourbony accent, sweet but balanced malt character. It has a bit of heat in the finish but is otherwise a solid BA impy.
