3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20Draft at Proof. Almost black pour with a creamy tan head. Light roasted and chocolate malts with a touch of sweet creaminess. Good roasted and dry chocolate flavor with a nice bitterness with a quick dry finish. Not too shabby and easily drinkable.

Westmeister’s Birthday Beer Tasting Extravaganza Beer #8. In my notes I simply wrote "Nondescript Porter." Therefore, pours black with tan head, roasted coffee scent and taste, slighly viscous mouthfeel. Not a bad beer, but nothing special either. Bottle - Westmeister’s House - Cumming, GA

12 ounce bottle. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a mahogany brown color with a half inch tan head that stayed around for a while. There’s also a good amount of lacing. The aroma is nice and sweet, the brew smells like roasted malt, chocolate, oatmeal, and a bit of dark fruit. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there’s also some coffee and some bitter hops in there too. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s well carbonated and enjoyable to drink. I thought this was a good brew, I’d buy it again. $1.99 for a single bottle.

Bottle. Poured a perfect dark brown color with a tan head and amazing lacing. Taste of roasted and toasted malts, oats, cocoa malts, malt heaven. High fizzy carb, medium body. Could drink this all day!

P: Pours a carbonated opaque dark mahogany with a fast fading tan head. Marshy air bubbles are left behind on the glass edge.
S: Aroma is sour dough, smelly sneakers, roasted oatmeal, figs, sugar sprinkled prunes, brown sugar, cumin and salted crackers.
T/M: Bitter prunes, molasses covered oats, burnt brown sugar/caramel and finishes dry with stale coffee and dark chocolate. Carbonation is quite assertive in the medium body.
O: The first time I had this on tap I really enjoyed it and wanted to try but again. It’s just as good as the first time. Really great roasty malt with sugar and bitterness to round out a nice oatmeal porter. This is my first oatmeal porter but I’m eager to enjoy more. Cheers!

UPDATED: MAY 7, 2013 Aromas of black earth, dark chocolate, roasted grain, and some floral hops. Almost black with dark ruby highlights, head is rocky and khaki-colored, and almost fully lasting. Dry, roasty, with notes of dark chocolate and fresh coffee beans, and well balanced by earthy hop bitterness. Medium bodied, smooth, with average carbonation and a roasty, earthy finish.

The aroma is very faint. The malts are a bit too bitter for me, sour almost. I am a big fan of oatmeal stouts and smokey porters. Unfortunately this didn't taste like it met either of those. I couldn't taste the chocolate flavors described and the hops seem to be lost in the sourness. Perhaps this is better when it is fresher, or on tap... I had a bottle.

Tap. Very deep brown. Light sweetness to this porter. Rich and flavorful. Pretty decent.

Quite nice but not so rich in flavour. VEry aromatic and smooth rather than very thick was.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle. Clear dark brown color. Good thin off-white head. Good lace. Nice smooth lighter carbonation. Satisfyingly big body, especially for a porter of this ABV, it’s got a nice texture. Not so thick as to be in stout-town, but satisfyingly thick. No lingering viscosity, though. Nice aroma... Solid amount of oatmeal, some light chocolate... Good sweetness, but not at all cloying. Solid bitterness.This is a fine oatmeal porter. Better than expected.
