12 oz. bottle, bottled APR0416 printed on the bottleneck. My second new one from the Leinenkugel's mixed variety twelve pack. "Vienna Style Lager Brewed With Oak" per the label.
Poured into a Duvel tulip snifter.
A - Pours a tawny amber with hues of reddish-copper. Finger of soft frothy khaki head that leaves good fluffy bubbly lacing. Appears adequately carbonated. Looks nice for what it is.
S - Aroma is a bit soft and muted. Soft notes of the oak wood, with aromas of vanilla come through. Not particularly nutty, malty, or yeasty, but what's here is nice.
T - Taste follows the nose: smooth toasty malt mingles with smooth woodsy creaminess from the oak wood. The oak lends the beer smooth notes of vanilla, caramel, & butterscotch.
M - Feel is smooth, crisp, & creamy. Slight notes of woodsy, earthy sweetness from the oak wood. Slightly chalky. Feels pretty nice.
Overall, a nice beer from Leinenkugel's; reminds me a bit of some of the oak-aged offerings I've tried from Innis & Gunn. Drinkable stuff.
Leinenkugel's Heart Of Oak -----4/5.

Poured from 12 oz bottle into schooner glass.
Appearance: a 1" off white head falls quickly with mild lacing. Color is rich amber, moderate streaming carbonation.
Aroma: mild overall with woodiness from the oak along with bready malts and some floral hops.
Mouthfeel: light and frothy with a fairly dry finish.
Flavor: malty sweetness dominates along with oak and vanilla. Mild floral hops.
Overall: not a world class vienna lager, but a decent beer.
