Brewer: Old Dominion Brewing Co. (Virginia, USA)
Beer: Oak Barrel Stout (Brewpub version)
Style: Stout
abv: 5.2%
Background: A growler from the brewpub in Ashburn. The brewpub version is considered a different beer because it's actually aged in oak barrels, whereas the bottled one is brewed with oak chips and vanilla beans.
Appearance: Pours black with a two-finger tan head. Nice lacing.
Aroma: Roasted malts, vanilla, wood.
Flavor: A lot like the bottled version, but better. The vanilla is subtler. A lot like the Olde Suffolk, only more roasted flavors.
Notes: Good thing I have a full growler in my fridge.
Rating: 3.9 out of 5
