From the Pepsican collection. Pours jet black with a thin dark tan head. Nice creamy oatmeal roasty grain aroma. Taste is roasted grain maybe a little burnt, not as much silky oatmeal as I would like. Not a bad little oatmeal stout.

Darker brown color. Chocolatey aroma with some roast and milkiness. Creamy flavor with some chocolate, sugar, and coffee. Smooth feel. Decent stout.

12 oz. bottle. Well, hey there. I just now discovered this new Iowa brewer that’s packaging for retail. All right. How’s the beer?
Nice roasty malt aroma from over a foot away when poured, with some light coffee and cocoa note. Black body, thin dwindling head—just not that easy to get a good pour from a bottled stout with no Widget. First taste impression is that it lacks the velvety smoothness of a cask oatmeal stout, having been force carbonated. After that, shows a nice stout, more to the dry side, with a bit of sourness, strong coffee overall. Probably a touch more alcohol than a session stout. Very good early effort shows some room for improvement that I hope they’ll work on.

Bottle courtesy of pepsican. Pours quite black with a small dark tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of roasted and burnt malts. Flavor is pretty similar with a sweet finish. Not too complex but drinkable and tasty.

Bottle. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, pleasant, sweet alcohol. Flavor the same, on the sweet side, but the roasted character evens things out. On the thin side for a stout. Still, Solid brew.

12oz bottle, courtesy of a trade from a while ago (pepsican??). Thanks! Pours a medium-dark chocolate-brown color; thin light tan head with patchy lacing. Basic milk chocolate, roasted malts, and nougat in the aroma; some oat character; lacking density overall. Medium mouthfeel: average levels of carbonation; decent core of chocolate, lightly roasted malts, and coffee upfront; a basic, drinkable stout with standard dark chocolate and roasted character; light at the edges; lacking density, but pretty drinkable and reasonably composed overall. Medium finish: roasted / burnt malts, milk and dark chocolate, and some dry coffee.
