Their nut-brown aged in cabernet sauvignon oak barrels. On-tap at the brewpub, the Oaked Nut Brown is a dark mahogany with a wispy white head that leaves very light, scattered lace.

Smell is vanilla and chocolate, very rich and appetizing.

Taste is nutty, vanilla, on the sweet side, some light phenols, a bit vinous, and absolutely fantastic. These guys are the oak barrel masters. Drinks much richer then the low (for a barrel aged beer) ABV.

Mouthfeel is thicker but smooth, tannic.

Drinkability is excellent. What a beer, masterful really.
