Christmas Ale, aged in new American Oak barrels.
A: Pours a somewhat murky ruby brown color. A small beige head forms with no lace left behind.
S: A malty.nutty aroma with light fruity esters. Enjoyable even if I'm looking for a bit more...
T: Taste wise, nutty, malty sweet. Fruity esters with cherries. A very light oak character, that has a touch of vanilla sweetness. While nothing is over the top, its all well balanced and works together.
M/O: A medium to full body. Moderate carbonation that becomes ultra smooth. There is a bit of an oak tannin character as well. Enjoyable to drink, and something interesting at the brewery.
The oak character is very light, and if you are not looking for it, might be almost neutral. Though in my experience that is more typical with "new oak" instead of something that has been used with spirit aging or something that is charred in anyway. Its interesting and good for what it is, but I still prefer regular Christmas Ale for what its worth. Still, a nice unique offering to try if at the breweries beer garden.
