Pours thick black/brown with white head, aroma has notes of deep roast, chocolate and caramel. Taste is nice with mixed roast, coffee, chocolate, and a touch of caramel. Mouthfeel is great, creamy and rich. Very nice beer, unexpected in Mexico!

On tap @ Baja Brewing. Pours black with a creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate and lots of roasted malt. Flavor is lightly sweet with some bitter and sour aspects, very similar to Guinness. Medium body with a creamy mouth feel. More of a dry stout to me than an Oatmeal Stout but I was just happy to drink something besides a pale lager in Mexico.

Sampled at the brewpub. A very dark, almost black, beer with a bit of red highlight. Head is a nice thick tan that has good retention. This is served with nitrogen that minimizes aroma and flavor but in both roasted malt and coffee are in abundance. Dark chocolate is a lesser theme. It is dry and just a bit sour. Some hop. This beer got sweeter as the glass emptied. It is a beer that will remind many of Guiness and is a quality Oatmeal Stout.
