Bottle from Styles. A decent appearance, although it didn’t jump out as outstanding by looking at it. After that, though, a darned nice brew. Excellent robust body and mouthfeel opens up and fortifies an outstanding and rounded flavor of light coffee and cocoa chocolate, very nice roasty touch and oatmeal finish. A solid oatmeal stout. Thanks so much, Chris.

Pours a very dark brown almost black in color. There is a very short lived frothy head on the pour. But alas, it is gone before I get to my chair. Smell is slight coffee, some deep black malt and a good amount of dark chocolate. This smells very promising. You get a bit more of the roasted coffee in the flavor, but it’s not dominant or obtrusive. There’s just enough dark chocolate to balance it out. Mouthfeel is pretty decent and fairly smooth. There is a bit of bitterness from the roasted barley, coffee. A very solid, good offering from Dark Horse.

12 oz bottle. Poured deep black with a medium sized dark brown head that left little lacing on the glass. Aroma of oatmeal, coffee, and roasted malts. Taste of toasted malts, burnt or charred malts, light oatmeal, with a bitter chocolate finish. Not bad.

Aroma is like a toasted pumpernickel loaf with some cocoa in the background. Flavor is lightly sweet. Not super complex, but pretty well balanced and tasty.

Bottle from stfun...thanks josh! Black as black can get. Toffee colored head, good lacing. Taste is burnt roasted malts and a touch of coffee. Texture was oily but thick, still drinkable though. Close to southern tiers oatmeal stout. Good stout. Thanks josh!
