A very sweet version of a stout, with a nice chocolate coffee flavor with a malted smell and a decent hop presence on the back end. One of the few great sessionable stouts due to the very low alcohol content.

(Bottle). Sweet chocolate malt aroma. Black body, small brown head. Flavor is medium sweet, with chocolate and a bit of fruit. Brief but pleasant finish. Very tasty.

A solid stout. I don’t know if I would go with the claim that it is one of the most complex stouts on the market today, but it is solid. Roasted malts, oat, and a little chocolate flavor and aroma. Good flavor, but it actually seemed a little thin. Still worth a try.

If you haven’t had this one, you should try it. It’s what an Oatmeal stout should be. Nice and dark, thick and smooth mouthfeel. First time I saw it was yesterday and had to pick one up. The only one I think is better is Brown’s Oatmeal stout. Which by the way if you like oatmeal stout’s you should try that one too.

What a great beer this is. Had been seeing this on the shelf at Tanakaya for months now and finally decided to give it a try. Cracked this open while at home halfway through watching A Clockwork Orange and enjoyed it immensly. Body was very black with a good-sized off white head all cushiony and billowy. Chocolate smell lifted up to my nose from the pint glass and I took the first sip. Wonderful creamy rich mouthfeel showcasing a well balanced flavour selection of chocolates, roasted barley, coffee, chocolate ice cream, hint of vanilla and cherry, and some of that oatmeal in there as well. Finish was long lasting and kept me thirsty for the next sip. Looking forward to drinking this one again.
