Oakes Profile - Brewver

Hard to say to some of the last remaining Northpaw beer in existence. Pours a near black colour with a fairly thick head. Aroma has some roasty notes and something else, maybe a fruitiness, that I can't quite put my finger on. On the palate, more straightforward. Moderate bitterness - maybe a bit low - and it's dry, with some mild roasty/chocolatey character. So it's not bad, though I personally prefer a stout to be a little bigger.

Purple, thin head, tart, very juicy, lots of berry and the sweetness works well with the slightly sharp base.

Hazy, thin head, soft body, low bitterness, not much in terms of pine, hop expression lower than I would expect for a beer of this name.

Pale and bright. Lowish bitterness, grainy, a touch of appley acidity, basically pale lager but decently executed.

Haze, dull, somewhat overripe, muddled, pretty basic lager, not getting any special "west coast" about it.

Haze, dull, thin head. The bubblegum of the 586 is too strong, just not a hop I appreciate.

Pale amber, mellow caramel, light toast. Mellow, sticky. Doesn't have the richest lager character around.
