Oaked beer

Oaked beer refers to beer that has been aged or flavored with oak wood, often from barrels previously used for aging wine or spirits. This process can enhance the beer's flavor and aroma by imparting notes of vanilla, toast, and wood. The aging can also soften the beer's edges, creating a smoother finish. Common styles that may use oak aging include stouts, porters, and some strong ales. The result is a complex and rich profile that appeals to those who appreciate the depth and character that wood aging can bring to beer.
