Bottled. Dark ruby red/black opaque colour with small brown head. Aroma of oatmeal, sweet malts and coffee. Some hops also. Flavour is sweet roasted malts, coffee and some harsh grassy hops in finish and aftertaste. A bit watery.

Botted. Opaque black, small tan head. Toasted coffee beans aroma. Medium to full bodied. Roasted, bitterish, quite typical lower ABV oatmeal stout. Mild toasted and hoppy aftertaste.

Strong aroma and flavor of roasted malt. Chocolate and coffe blended in -- very smooth and rich. some lactic flavors as well -- overall, very enjoyable.

Definitely get the bittersweet finish. Slight cocoa tastes. Oatmeal comes a bit in the aroma but not so much in the taste. I’ve had more complex oatmeals before but this one is nice but not overly exciting.

Bottle. A solid oatmeal stout. I definately prefer this oatmeal to others that I have tried - much tastier and more pleasant. Very good all aorund and very balanced - no characteristics that jump out as outstanding though. I may purchase again if in a stout mood again.
