The old fashion way

Category: Smoke-Flavored/Wood-Aged Beer Subcategory: Wood-Aged Beer Aroma: Varies with base style. A low to moderate wood- or oak-based aroma is usually present. Fresh wood can occasionally impart raw "green" aromatics, although this character should never be too strong. Other optional aromatics include a low to moderate vanilla, caramel, toffee, toast, or cocoa character, as well as any aromatics associated with alcohol previously stored in the wood (if any). Any alcohol character should be smooth and balanced, not hot. Some background oxidation character is optional, and can take on a pleasant, sherry-like character and not be papery or cardboard-like.

Actual Taste :p

Using a trusty taste-ometer graph. Taste is going to be terrible , OG is off the chart and IBU is way to low, will taste like a cup of malt (whiskey). I have to go back and balance the IBU (unbalanced). I need a mulligan on this one.

Finally ...took a while. Using a trusty taste-ometer graph. Taste is going to well balanced between malt and hoppiness (46% balanced).
