Charbay R5 French Oak Aged

Take the Charbay R5 Clear and add some vanilla and toast notes: interesting. The flavors…on first sip the mellowing richness of the oak makes for a nice entry. But the wood blunts the zip of the hoppy beer wash without adding enough to compensate for the loss and makes for a hotter finish. It’s still interesting but the wood gets in the way of what this can be.
