3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Oakes (13660) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 1, 2015
Dark amber with not much head. Aroma was a bit light but the taste has a rich rye character and a lot of toastiness. Medium bitterness as well. Good balance...dodges style guidelines and yet is a very effective medium strength amber. Thats not easy to do.

Draft - Sweet perfumy caramel. Dark clear Amber with a decent of white head. Rye grains with spice and a bitterness that works well. Very dry finish, which in this case doesnt work for me.

On tap at Bitter Tasting Room in Vancouver. A dark reddish copper ale with a tan head and a grainy fruity nose. On the palate its big barley and big rye notes all the way. Halfway to a barleywine in my view. Nice. 3.6.

Draught at Bitter Tasting Room, Vancouver Red amber color, clean, with compact head. Aroma of caramel and a bit of yeast. Caramel flavor, earthy, spicy, with light residual sweetness, and very strong bitterness, very resiny hops; it has too much yeast flavor. Not bad, but rough; the earthy/spicy rye component, with the bitterness and the yeast is a bit too much.
