Oakes Profile - Brewver (Dev)

Dark brown. This has a fair bit of barrel, light vanilla. On the palate, there's a nice richness, a thickness to the body. Light vanilla, a bit of chocolate, decent barrel character but honestly I'm not getting 3 years in Willett from there. Fits into the category of "solid beer, would be stoked if a local brewery did this."

Alberta Wild Ale from Blindman Brewing (Lacombe, Canada 🇨🇦)

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

Hazy and dull, with a fairly thick head. This has a big hoppy character, lots of yeast, like getting into Saison Dupont character. Dry, hoppy. Flavourful. Good stuff. Classic saison with a wild element to it.

Hazy amber, a bit on the dull side in terms of appearance. This one's quite yeasty. Some toasty notes, not a great yeast character. Something not hitting here.

Irrational Trials from Trial & Ale Brewing (Edmonton, Canada 🇨🇦)

6.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 6

Amber. Bright. No head. The aroma here is a bit acidic, fungal, and then we have a bit of acetone. On the palate, tart. Acetic. A touch of acetone. So, this, was it basically a Trial & Ale beer blended with a golden ale from Irrational. Sort of oaky. But this doesn't really work. Again, the base is overly acidic, lacks complexity, and there's only so much you can do with that.
