I had this out of the draught can. very mellow and smooth beyond belief. I can definitely taste some chocolate in this. Something to relax with.

rating this a day later from limited notes: bottle. dark brown pour. aroma of chocolate, figs and leather. straightforward on the taste w/ coffee and roasted malt. need to do a proper re-rate.

Nice pour. Very dark brown with a substantial mocha head and nice lacing. This sets up the aroma, which is a decent blend of roasted malt, chocolate and a hint of coffee. The high expectations are dampened by the taste - a muddy mix overtaken by alcohol. Mouthfeel is oily and the finish is brass and more alcohol. A disappointment.

500mL Bottle: Pours dark brown, almost black w/ a medium sized brown head that splits rather quickly, leaving minimal lacing behind. Sweet roasted malt aroma, a little light chocolate in there too. Flavor holds some nice roasted malts similar to the aroma. Nice smooth beer, but not great. Eh...

Black/brown pour. Flavor is fairly standard for an oatmeal stout, but something is missing. Not quite right in the mouth or finish. OK, I’m guessing the draught is much better, as is the case with their double chocolate stout, which I absolutely love.
