Description:

First taste was extremely rich, toasty malt with very subtle vanilla and a evident oak "sharpness." As the beer has aged, a fruity twang has come forward, not unpleasant, and I don't believe technically an off-flavor. Each bottle has tasted slightly different, but all have been smooth and pleasant. Hence the (d)Evolution. It shall be interesting to see how they age further.
