Old Dominion - Oak Barrel Stout Review

Type: Stout

ABV: 5.2%

Sight: Deep dark brown, almost black with a very eager fluffy lighter-brown head that is 2 fingers thick.

Aroma: Chocolate and coffee are up front with an alcohol tingle and a hint of vanilla coming through from behind.

Taste: Definite oak flavors comes through nicely. The roasted coffee and light tinges of chocolate and vanilla fight to overcome the dominance of oak, and actually do. Nice balance between the flavors overall from front to back.

Overall: If your into smoked flavors in your beer, you'll love this brew. If not, you'll like it. Nice light to medium mouthfeel. No hard aftertaste like there is in some stouts. A very refreshing beer, that being aged in the oak barrels has only helped.

Score: 8.2/10
