Sample at the brewpub from ck1, thanks bro! Pours a charcoal black with an off-tan head, nice lacing. Aroma is chocolate chip cookies with alcohol. Taste has semi sweet chocolate, oatmeal and a solid roasted malts base. Finishes with some length and bittersweet. I was very tempted to switch my Dirty Old Man, which was also excellent. Tyranena sure does their porters & stouts well!

I liked this beer, it was everything you expect from an oatmeal stout except it wasn’t chewy, it was smooth. It has the flavors you are looking for and a good aftertaste. Good for a cool night after a couple lighter beers to get that dark beer taste and send you to bed full to have a good nights sleep.

Very good brau. Served at a good temperature with a nice sized light tan, foamy head that settled after a bit and good lacing. Color is an opaque black brown. Aroma is malt, heavy roast, coffee. Flavor is similar to nose with nice balance between malt sweet, malt roast, carbonic tang, and malt, hop, yeast bitter. Body is good, ditto carbonation with only little points, yet compensating chewyness. Finish is like flavor, of average length, and very easy to have more. A tip of the hat to the brewer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours near black with reddish hues and a thin wispy mocha head. Notes of sweet roasted malt, chocolate, raisins, nuts, wine, and wood. Full bodied and silky with soft carbonation.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
A light roasted aroma, roasted chocolate flavor and a to me, just hint of oatmeal flavor.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma is roasty with hints of sweet chocolate. Falvor is rather subdued with notes of roasted malt, light, sweet chocolate, nuts, molasses, and earthy tones. Medium body with little carbonation. Not bad.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This is a pretty nice chocolate stout. It’s only negative is a slight metallic twinge in the nose. It pours w/ a deep brown black color and a thin head and has a creamy texture cut by brisk carbonation. It’s nice rich coffee-like taste makes up for any flaws it might have.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours dark brown, small tan head. Sweet chocolaty start that transitions to a smooth malty lightly bitter finish. Nothing unfortunate here. Nice brew.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nice roasted aroma, pours an opaque black with a thick tan head. Very good roasted flavor, with a hint of sweet chocolate notes. Very little carbonation noticeable, which pairs up with a slick, full mouthfeel. There’s a nice roasted finish that lingers for a while. This is a solid oatmeal stout, and I would recommend it.
