Southern Tier Oat

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of coffee, soy sauce, and caramel. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of alcohol, as well as medium notes of oatmeal, coffee, roasted malt, and caramel, leading to a dry finish, where the alcohol burns the throat. Nice.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of kmweaver. Pours a clear, warm, dark brown with a reddish hue and a creamy, light brown head. Fat, vinous aroma - almost port like with some raisiny notes. Very full-bodied, this pours thick and sirupy. Loads of hard roasted malts, licorice and dried fruit. Rather subdued bitterness. Lovely indeed. 021107

Bottled, thanks kmweaver! Almost black with minimal head. Loads of molasses and chocolate, followed by tar and licorice. Very sweet and thick with massive body, gets cloying and edgy with lots of alcohol coming through. An unbalanced mess.

From bottle, blind tasting at Papsoes - beer no 7. Pours dark brown to black with a diminished light brown head. Breadish and roasted dark malty aroma, has a dried fruit note too. Chocolate flavoured with a distinct liqourice in the finish. Gives a smooth chocolate flavour along the way and slowly leading into a nice finish with a distinct liqourice note.

Bottled. Deep brown colour, close to black, not much head. Aroma is sweet malts, licorice, some mild roast as well as coffee and chocolate in a really nice balance. Flavour is the same along with some mildly stinging alcohol. Good stout, which is wellbalanced.

Rating #5000. Bottle. Black coloured with a beige head. Roasted aroma of cocoa, chocolate and dried fruits. Roasted flavour of cocoa, chocolate, dried fruits, rye bread and hops. Roasted and hoppy finish.

black, wispy beige head, rich dark chocolate aroma with a light sweet character from the alcohol, big creamy body gets a bit sticky, rich dark chocolate flavor, touch of sweetness works to bring out more of the chocolate and turns it into a silky sweet milk chocolate, touch of licorice, roasted character comes in with the hops to keep the malty sweetness in balance, light bitter finish
