Oakshire O’Dark:30 Cascadian Dark Ale

Submitted by Dan on March 23, 2010 – 11:44 am No Comment

From Oakshire Brewing – O’Dark:30 is that time of morning that is so early and so dark that the actual time is irrelevant” According to Jeff Althouse, Founder of Oakshire brewing,  “It’s a unique and fun name that honors the many brewers, including ours, who often wake up early to start the brew day.

Oakshire Brewing – O’Dark:30 Cascadian Dark Ale – 22 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 6.3% abv.

Appearance: Pours a jet black with a light tan, big foamy head.

Aroma: Fresh cut sage and spearmint and big coffee roast.

Taste: Bitter, abrasive hops, herbal notes and big burnt roast to match the abrasiveness hops.

Mouthfeel: Creamy and sticky, moderate carbonation.

Overall: Really big, tasty and balanced.  I wouldn’t feel bad even if the hops faded away on this one as the roast could easily carry this beer.
