Commercial Description:
This stout is sheer beer poetry. Let it warm to about 45 F and pour it into a glass to fully experience its rich, roasty flavors and hints of coffee and chocolate. One glass and you'll agree: The Poet is truly a rich, creamy brew of epic proportions.

pours a deep brown-black color with a creamy light tan head with decent retention and nice lacing. aroma has hints of roasty malt, cocoa, and a touch of coffee. flavor is of light coffee, roastiness, and caramel balanced nicely with subtle hops. very creamy mouthfeel as an oatmeal stout should have. very nice stout.

Taste 2/9 Bottle. Looks: Black and opaque with a nice foam. Aroma: Roasted and toasted malt in the from of coffee and chocolate. Sweetness and freshness. Taste: Smooth mouthfeel from the oatmeal with a balance from the acidity. A little simple but very drinkable for a fan of dark roasts.

Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours near opaque with ruby transparency at the edges under strong light. Large frothy tan head that laces a bit. Aromas of chocolate and coffee. Very light coffee. Medium plus body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is chocolate and oatmeal. Extremely smooth finish. Going very well with Black Forest Cherry gooey cookie!

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. NHTP pours very dark brown with a smallish off-white head that settles quickly. It has an aroma of burnt popcorn, oak and coffee. The body is a little watery for a stout. The flavor is nice and enjoyable if a bit boring. Charcoal sweetened with chocolate is the predominate taste. The finish lingers with a carbonated hop-filled bitterness. This is an average beer and falls short of my local favorite, Schlafly Oatmeal Stout.

I don’t drink many session stouts, but I won’t have any problem with the next five of these dark, sweet, and roasty mother(ahem)’s.

Bottle. Roasty malt aroma. Black body, creamy light brown head. Very roasty flavor, mostly coffee, with some bitter chocolate, a touch of sweetness. Finish is light and nicely bitter. Very pleasant.
