Pretty average stout. Tried it on recommendation of employee at specialty liquor store and glad I only purchased one. Good pour, good nose but average, watery taste that was not very carbonated.

On tap at Crescent Moon in Omaha. Chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, lactic. Bit thin but okay. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

pours a beautiful oily black with no head and mild lacing. nose of chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and malt. flavor is sweet and creamy, with coffee, anise, and dark fruit notes. oily mouthfeel...nice and thick. finish is long and malty.

12oz bottle pour into a super cool pint glass. nice deep dark brown pour with a generous tan head. aroma of molasses, coffee, roasted malt and some chocolate. medium bodied imo. bitter chocolate/coffee flavor up front with sweet roasty flavors shining through at the end. a solid beer!

Looks like a fresh pint of black coffee, near zero clarity, thin latte cap. Smells of fresh cream, oily coffee beans, sweet honey, more coffee, really a pleasant aroma I think. Taste - milk and oatmeal as promised, aftertaste like a dark roast with half and half, the oats take a back seat to the lingering latte flavors - mouthfeel could stand to get beefed up a bit. Overall, this is a solid offering from a brewery that is really hit or miss for me, I’d recommend this to any stout fan

Near black with a quickly fading brown head. Very rich, malty aroma with a light smokey note. Moderately sweet turns to a slight bitter finish. Smooth, but lighter than expected, fizzy.

Bottle. Poured a deep dark brown with no real head to speak of. Aroma was sweet, with a little chocolate and dark malt. The flavor followed this with some slight burnt taste and a hint of coffee. Very slight bitter finish. Just a little runny, but overall a good brew. I’d seek it out again.

Thick brown-black pour, not much head. Aroma is sweet milk and chocolate. Taste is chocolate, coffee, sweet and bitter blend.

Thanks to mnbearsfan for this 12 oz bottle via trade. Poured a thin black with a mocha/tan small one-finger head. Nose was some smoke/ash, chocolate, molasses and brown sugar. Taste was vanilla, oatmeal, chocolate and coffee as was expected, but also some fruit (cherries?). Body was smooth but thin with medium carbonation. Overall, a good offering in a style I like, but I have found others I like more.

The Moo Joos pours as a black beer with relatively little head (for a stout). It has a rather strong aroma of yeast and dark malt. The taste has a good deal of balance, some sweetness, a hint of biterness from hops. Also I taste a slight amount of smoke. The palate is pretty good; thick and easy going down. A pretty good beer.
