I've reviewed several other of Aldergrove, BC's Dead Frog brews, especially because they like to put out special release beers which I am an absolute sucker for. Most recently I've reviewed Beer #68, Christmas Beeracle and previously Beer #51 Nut Brown, Beer #25 Pale Ale & Beer #4 Mandarin Orange Amber Ale.
It has a deep brown colour with a very light brown head.
The oak is definitely present in the aroma, with coffee, malt and bitter notes as well.
The coffee comes through in the taste right from start to finish, the oakiness comes through at the start, with the bitterness coming in and taking over on the finish. The oakiness does linger a little on the finish as well.
A very interesting brew, has a lot of sherry like flavour components. Definitely very complex and the 6.5% alcohol content comes through in the taste. A nice winter/spring warmer.
