Room temp
Pours clear gold with big white head that billows a little, stays, laces
Aroma chalky yeast, oak, sweet malt, earthy like dirt, Indian spice
Mouth feel, moderate to heavy, not clingy, carb cleansing good.
Flavor pleasant wood up front, horsy haybarn yeast but not a blanket, delicious malt backbone, a bit too much bitterness at the end.
Finish pleasant cleansing, well balanced finish, too much IBUs at the way back end.
Overall, delicious beverage, interesting and flavorful. Could shift hops more towards the end of the boil, and perhaps take it off the oak a bit sooner. Higher temps with the yeast?
