This, along with the Espresso Yeti, come from the same company and the same philosophy. It's basically the same basic recipe used in the baseline Yeti but brewed in Oak casks during the aging process.
Just like the Espresso, this beer pours out with the same characteristics. Black body, tan head, great lacing - standard fare. Nose of chocolate, coffee and sweetness and an woody, oak scent. Very familiar scent to those who have made friends with Jack Daniels. The taste was similar to the nose with a nice, hearty barley scent with a touch of hops and heavy malts. The taste was very smooth with no alcohol to speak of. But, this one had a weird aftertaste, even for coffee-lovers, compared to the Espresso. I wasn't able to put my finger on it so I'll keep it at "weird" but not "bad".
Overall, not a terrible brewski at all. But, I had the Espresso about an hour before this one, and that is one brew that is VERY hard to beat. Basically, if you have to choose between the two, get the Espresso. If this is the only one available, hit it like there's no tomorrow - you won't be disappointed.
