What Our Editors Thought
“Oaky nose with some herbal vanilla and a slight vegetal tinge. It trades lager definition for a broadly accessible, if a touch simple, malt body, but the spicy wood tannins help hold it together.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Moderately strong vanilla and oak up front, which, combined with the rich toasty bread-crust malt, gives it a bourbon character. Notes of very floral wood and light cinnamon spice. The barrel dominates this beer completely—could use just a bit more body.”
What the Brewers Say
“Foeder-aged Oktoberfest lager. Smooth and malty with a hint of oak.”
