12 oz. bottle poured in a tumbler. Pours a black color with a reddish-hue, kind of like coke with a small, frothy light-brown head. Aroma is mainly all malts, roasted, nutty, chocolate, and some coffee. Flavor is nearly the same. Nice creamy mouthfeel, and a bit lively with a slight bitter finish. Good beer.

The pour is black, with a big brown head. The head is frothy from the small bubbles building. The aroma is roasted earthy malts. This is a full bodied, beer with nominal carbonation, big points with me. The taste sharp roasted malts, with coffee overtones, the finish is slow but not sloppy. This is a very good stout!

Aroma is of burnt grain and chocolate. It pours a thick black without much head. Taste is of burnt grains with a thin metallic palate. No where near as good as i was expecting.

On tap at Clybourn, black color with tanish head. Coffee, chocolate in the nose. Great malt, carmel, toffee, chocolate, and somewhat sweet, this is a good oatmeal stout.

Very tasty. Kinda sweet. Good malty flavour, with just the right level of roastiness. Good thick body. Smells great. Would go down nicely with some roast pork, potatoes and gravy. Overall very good. Not quite as good as Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal stout, which is still the gold standard for stouts.

Coffee aroma. Weak head, thick opaque appearance. Taste of coffee and cream. Palate also a bit weak for this type of beer. Not much finish, but overall taste is rich and complex.

It’s black with a red hue and a creamy, golden head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, oats and coffee. The flavor is sweet with notes of dark syrup, oats, chocolate, sweet coffee and the aftertaste is rather long with notes of coffee. It’s soft, uncomplicated and easy to drink.
