The Dirt
I honestly had low expectations for this beer. I was prepared for too much oak, not enough oak...but it ended up being delicious and well-rounded. The oak balanced very well with the sweet maltiness of the beer. It was kind of like a scotch ale, but with oak instead of peat. It had a very smooth finish that left a slightly sweet oak taste lingering on your tongue. Both tasty and drinkable.
Worth it?
It was part of a pretty stellar spring mix pack this year. I probably wouldn't buy a full 6-pack of it (oak is best in moderation), but certainly enjoyed the two that came in the pack and would buy on tap if available.
The Final Word
