Smoky molasses and burnt caramel coffee. Black/brown color with a frothy deep tan head. Dark bittersweet chocolate sweetness with some burnt toast, nicely balanced. Silky medium to full body, mild carbonation, rich long lasting roasted coffee finish. Very good Stout. The oatmeal softens some of the tannins resulting in a well balanced and tasty brew

Thanks to Secret Santa for this! Black pour with one finger chestnut colored head a film of drippy lace. Oats and dark fruits on the nose. Medium bodied, creamy mouth feel. Chocolate, dark fruits, and roasted malts. Light bitterness and slightly dry.

12 oz. from the first week of November sent to me by Acrdz. Thanks! This is a rather dark stout, I was surprised by its shade of black. Not much of a head forms. The aroma is vinous with hints at prunes, molasses, and chocolate. This seems to be rich and sweet. Oats are more noticeable in the flavor and this has a pleasantly meaty body to it. Dark fruits float around my palate and hints are made at licorice, earth, and chocolate before finally residing on a nutty, woody finish. This is a treat!

Enjoyable beer. Spicy and malty but lacks aroma. Good carbonation. Goes down really easy with a nice subtle sweet finish.

Just released today for this year. On tap at the brewery. Tried two different versions: nitro and CO2...and what a huge difference. I’ve always preferred nitro, because of the creamy mouthfeel, but man does it kill the aroma and the flavor. The CO2 bubbles popping on you tongue create a mist of aroma that reach your nose greatly enhancing the aroma. And I always confuse aroma with taste, so the taste is much stronger. Not to mention the zing of carbonation on your tongue. Nevertheless, CO2 and Nitro are both good in their own ways, and I prefer each equally. Chocolately, mildly sweet, low bitterness. Very easy to drink.

Thick dark brown black with a chocolatey tan head. Smell is roasted oatmeal cookies fresh out of the oven. Flavor is oatmeal and chocolate and sweet malt. Nice smooth and nearly creamy palate. Very good overall, all around

Pours black with ruby edges and a small light tan head. Smell is nice chocolate and some roasty malt with a definite oatmeal creaminess and cookie like aroma. Taste is roasty, slightly ashy dark malt, and a solid oaty creaminess and chocolatey flavor. Nice semi rich body and mouthfeel with light carbonation. Very good overall, balanced, flavorful and finishes a touch sweet and chocolately. A really surprising find, and one I hope to try again! Just what I want in an oatmeal stout.

Thanks to BeerandBlues2 for this bottle. Pour was typical for the style, a bit light on the head. Aroma was mostly milky chocolate, some light roast. The flavor was milky, even a touch of lactic, chocolate, faint roast, oatmeal all lost in the flavor, body more slick (only just shy of sticky) than firm, like other nice oatmeal stouts. Either way, thanks again Brad, always a fun experience drinking a new one.
