Revelation Cat Woodwork Series Acasia 375ml, 11% - Italy


Acacia is spelled with C and not S. Do you guys think that they misspelled it on the label?

Amber color with a creamy, fluffy head.

Light grapefruit and pines aroma.

This has a more plain taste. It's less dominating on grapefruit, but equally divided between pines, hops and malts.

I do get something unusual which I can't describe, must be that Acacia then.

Revelation Cat Woodwork Series American Oak 375ml, 11% - Italy


More of an amber color here topped with a tiny creamy head.

Pines up front, together with grapefruit and grass aroma.

Refreshingly good taste actually. Alcohol is not as noticeable here. Grapefruit flavor, cold strong Earl Grey, citrus and hops. Pleasant hops mind you.

I don't know what American Oak tastes and smells like, so I can't say that it's present here.

Revelation Cat Woodwork Series French Oak 375ml, 11% - Italy


Murky orange color (same as the previous bottle), but with a crispy head which settles slowly leaving sticky lacing.

Grapefruit and piney aroma. Hoppy and slightly yeasty.

Sweet malty flavor, citrus, grapefruit, bitter hops. More dry and harder flavor. I guess that's the French Oak for you.

This one is more creamy and pleasant than the "plain" reference bottle.

Revelation Cat Woodwork Series Reference 375ml, 11% - Italy


Tonight we'll be trying the Woodwork series. DIPAs which were aged in fresh, brand new barrels. So one reference bottle and three with different wood sorts.

Pours murky orange with a creamy head.

Strong fruity aroma. Citrus and grapefruit up front. Followed by hops and malts.

Boozy taste. Some grapefruit and hoppy bitterness. Hints of caramel and citrus. Dry and bitter mouth feel.
