Cuvee Series One (Oak Aged Series)
Thanks to waltonc for this one for the giving of thanks. A: Comes in a nicely packaged box, which usually means good things but in this case actually means quite the opposite. Pours a coppery buttery orange, almost like a dessert wine. No carbonation to speak of. S: Oak, oak and more oak. Very faint caramel and sweet malt. T/M: This is where it was most disappointed. Totally unbalanced and harsh, tasted like I was licking my tongue on the side of an oak barrel. The lack of carbonation hurt because it came across too thick on the mouth. Overall, I was not at all impressed. D: Not at all drinkable. Was inclined to drain pour most of the glass. Not that good a beer, and for the price, should be avoided.
