Bristol Winter Warlock Oatmeal Stout

bottle. i’ve had this on tap recently too, i think the bottle comes across better right now. solid black pour grey head, chocolate, nose with notes of brownies, with a light coffee scent. enjoyable balanced flavor. sugary cocoa and vanilla flavor mix with the roast notes well. a bit of raisin in the finish with a nice fudge flavor. really enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Black pour with a light tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt. Light roasted malts come out in the flavor, chocolate and a bit of dark fruit. Medium body with a dry finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a frothy tan head that mostly diminishes and leaves a little lacing.

The aroma is sweet lactic chocolate, some coffee and some charcoal and vegetal notes.

The flavor is sweet chocolate, coffee, and some anise with a burnt bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full with low carbonation.

Overall a very nice winter stout. The burnt bitterness balances out the sweet notes nicely.

12 oz bottle via beerandblues2 (thanks!). Pours black with a large tan head. Love the burnt/roasted nose with subtle notes of chocolate & vanila. Taste starts semi-sweet, then the roasted barley kicks in, followed by a little chocolate & coffee that is nicely balanced by some earthy hops. A little salty and with some soy in the finish as well. A little smokiness is noted. The oats don’t come through until the aftertaste. Thin/medium body. Moderate carbonation. A sweet stout? Not tasting hardly any sweetness, i would say this is just a Stout, but a pretty good one.

bottle. black with thin tan head. big sour malts, sugar, oak, suprising alcohol, coffee and chocolate in the aroma. smooth. oatmeal, chocolate. coffee grain in a bitter finish. nice brew from Bristol.

Has a surprisingly "very smoky" aroma. A nice stout, slightly smoky, and w/out any coffee hints, Pleasant hop finish. Yummy.

I thought this was shared by nolankowal. Aroma was almost all chocolatea nd not much else. Was sweet and maybe a little roasty. Also a little alcohol coming through.

Bottle shared by bgburdman: Black with a tan head. Aroma, some oats, coffee, chocolate. Flavor, chocolate, coffee, a hint of oats, and some dried dark fruits as well. Not my favorite.
