Oakiness

As Mr. Cardarella invited me to appreciate the "oakiness" I can't recall whether it was of the $200 a bottle Signature or the Aberfeldy 27 year old, the high drama drawing a crowd, I had a revelation about myself. ❋ Ralph Gardner Jr. (2011)

Flavor: Ideally served at 55 degrees, this beer has some kick; the coffee and roasted notes hit first, followed by the bourbon, and a smooth finish of chocolate and a light bitterness; some of the oakiness from the barrel comes through, though surprisingly little hop; this beer is all about the malts and the specialty malt complexity is pretty amazing; a light touch with the sweetly caramelized malts adds a soupcon of brightness. ❋ Unknown (2007)
