Wow, had this on draft at one of their accounts in the Central Coast on a trip with my friends. Heard about this one after it won an award at GABF and hadn’t seen it since. Saw it tried it, loved it

Bottle expertly smuggled cross country by my brother, thanks for the opportunity. Pours the darkest shade of brown with faint wisps of garnet highlights on the edges. A creamy beige head rises upon first pour but falls to a cap rather quickly. Sweet sugary malt mixed with caramel chocolate and roast waft out of the glass in waves toward my nostrils. My taste buds become enthralled with waves of flavor starting with earthy caramel and brown sugar, segue into chocolate and roasted grains, followed by hints of dark fruits and earthy hops and finishing with a long lingering roast. Medium to thick body with a light level of carbonation and silky creamy mouthfeel. WOW is what I said after the first sip and now I’m trying to figure out why I haven’t heard of this brewery before. This is a great example of a well crafted oatmeal stout!

Poured into the glass it has a dark brown color with a small head. The aroma has some vanilla with some chocolate. Taste is smooth and light. There is some espresso and chocolate but not too heavy. Good starter stout.

(22oz bomber thanks to bu11zeye) rich espresso brown, few off-white bubbles. Nose of rich chocolate, cream, a bit of honey too. Not too complex, but really smells nice. Taste of milk chocolate, light chocolate malt grain, toasty, smooth. Medium to light body, creamy finish.

2/24/12. Shared by bu11zeye at RBWG 2012. Black pour with a small khaki head. Grainy aroma with a touch of chocolate and roast. Sweeter, smoother flavor with more chocolate, grains, roast, and lingering chocolate. Not bad!

(Draught) Pours an opaque black body with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, lactose, vanilla, and chocolate. Flavor of soy, roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate with a dry finish.

Pours dark brown in color with a finger of khaki head. A strong roasted malt aroma with a touch of smoke and char. There is a little bit of coffee grounds in there and a hint of dark chocolate. The flavor is more of the same. Lots of coffee grounds and heavily roasted malt. An almost charred flavor with a hint of smoke and coffee. Light in body with medium carbonation.

A very complete beer from start to finish. Rich chocolate middle, and coffee finish but not too overbearing. Dark head. Aftertaste is smokey but even. Hint of licorice. No nitro needed for this beer. Great representation of a special stout. I would not say this is an English Stout. Had this on tap at the tasting room. Don’t know if it is in bottles or not. Would recommend.

On tap at the brewery. Pours with a black body and a small tan head. Aromas of licorice, chocolate, earthy, coffee and vanilla. Flavors are a bit leathery, roasty, light coffee, dry roast. Clean and bitter. Light smoke. Dry, medium bubbles, medium to slightly full body.

i had this on tap at figueroa mountain brewing and it’s a nicely done. They listed it as an oatmeal stout however the aroma and flavor have really nice notes of coffee and chocolate. I thought it was well-crafted
