Woodcut Series

Our first lager offering in the Woodcut series, Woodcut No. 4 Oak Aged Lager provides an exceptional “base” for showcasing the importance of hand selected, hand coopered, medium toast, American virgin oak barrels. By choosing a double Marzen style lager, our brewers were able to design a beer that showcases the caramel malty characters of a Marzen along with the clean warming alcohol character only an 11% lager can provide. The nose of this beer is rich in complexity, providing pineapple, dried apricot, raisin and a pleasantly soft muskiness. Toasted oak overtones balance these aromas with a light cedar quality. As the warming alcohol coats the palate a soft vanilla lingers on the tongue imparted by the medium toast virgin oak.

"If you find an extra bottle of Odell's Woodcut No. 4 floating around, snap it up. The brewers took a strong, doubly potent marzen (the lager you sip during Oktoberfest) and aged it in new, freshly charred oak barrels. The results were transcendent: toffee, vanilla, earthy hops and malty opulence. It was one of my fondest drinking memories for 2010." - Joshua M. Bernstein, slashfood.com
