Sturdy black pour with an off white head. Some lacing. Aroma was not real strong, but roasty grain and coffee. Almost creamy mouthfeel. Real solid medium body. Tastes roasted malt with some mocha. Finishes rather light with some coffee. Nothing overpowering, would have liked this to be a bit bigger, but a nice oatmeal stout.

Draft - Black, tan creamy head. Toasted sweet coffee nose sits upon a lighter black chocolate foundation. Roasted vanilla cream flavors with soft chocolate-coffee notes for balance. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light roasty, bittersweet finish. Sessionable for sure…

Sampled at the Blues and Brews fest. Dark brown pour, light for a stout. Definitely allows light. One to two fingers light tan head. The nose has some grain, some chocolate and coffee, roasty. The flavor is roasty, has coffee and chocolate, some grain. Watery mouthfeel and finishes with coffee.

Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Has hints of sweet oatmeal, burnt malts, cocoa, and coffee. Finishes thin with a crisp cocoa taste on the tongue.

Dark black color with a tan head on it. Smell is rich and malty, some vanilla and oak, but not too much. Taste is sweet and full of oats, smooth and rich. Very easy to drink. The best of the beers I sampled there. Pretty powerful, could drink a few of them in rapid succession though.

Deep, dark crimson brew. Lightly-tanned, creamy head with great retention. Thick, weeping lacework. Very chocolatey nose with additional notes of vanilla and alcohol. The flavor is of coffee and milk chocolate. The alcohol is very evident. Full-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Very astringent, long bitter finish with loads of alcohol.
