Imagine if you will a combination of Bigfoot, Celebration, and Pale Ale. 3 excellent examples of beer in one bottle? Sign me up!
Then imagine somebody punk'd the entire batch with Oak.
I'm going to start by saying there is is one snowballs chance in hell that someone along the line filled my $10 bottle with the worst beer they could think of, dropped a bunch of piss soaked oak chips on in it, then labeled it as an actual SN product.
If I concentrate hard enough to force my taste buds to ignore the offending oak, I can just make out something that at some time might have been drinkable but, even then, I am disappointed in what is left. Little or no aroma or taste from the hops, only the trademark SN bitterness.
*sigh*
Apparently a bunch of people on Beeradvocate think its great. I think they ought to try it sober.
Long story short: Oak does not belong in my beer; this offering, though it might really turn somebody on, offends me.
I thought the Stout was awesome.
Now, if I can only get my hands on the Imperial Helles...
