This is Bishop's Breakfast with Coffee from a firkin.

A - The beer was served with a dark brown body and a light brown, two finger head...the head showed some retention and some decent lacing

S - Pretty one dimensional...coffee...I'm not complaining here because I love coffee, but that's the only aroma I'm picking up

T - The flavors work better together here...there is an initial sweetness, like a touch of vanilla or cream...the coffee flavor is full blown in the middle of the beer...it's like drinking a fresh cup of iced coffee...there's an underlying earthiness which I'm expecting is from the oatmeal stout base...the coffee beans allow for a slight bitterness at the end

M - Medium to light bodied...smooth...could use a bit more creaminess...the coffee leaves a nice coating

D - I've never had the base Bishop's Breakfast, but this one with coffee was delicious...I could drink this in the morning instead of my regular cup of coffee...it would probably start my day off better

Tasted as part of a flight of Oliver Brews. Nitrogen brewed, so it pours creamy black/brown with a light brown head. Scent is roasted malts. Taste is a creamy roasted malt that is exceedingly easy to drink.

Good Oatmeal Stout. Had a pint at the Pratt Street Ale House. Dense black color, small tan head (surprising being it was on a Nitro tap) with good retention and plenty of lacing. Aroma and taste include roasted malt and some chocolate. Not all that sweet, with a little sourness added. Mouthfeel is very good. Between the oatmeal and nitro tap this is very smooth. Medium richness. Goes down very easy. A slightly unusual Oatmeal Stout with the touch of sour, but still very good.

Not much head and a little faint in nose but still appetizing. Big sour oat and caramel and minty pine. Kind of an interesting aftertaste. I wouldn't consider this a great oatmeal stout due to the strange mix of flavors but it is kind of interesting

Not a fan of the whole slightly sour oatmeal stout thing. The tart character totally distracts from the flavors I look for in an oatmeal stout. I will not be having this beer again.

Pint with lunch at the Pratt Street Alehouse.
Solid dark brown with a frothy tan head that persists. Earthy roasty with a hint of chocolate and dark dried fruit. Went down pretty easy.

Served as nitro, which aids the creaminess. But it still lacked flavor even when given time to reach ideal drinking temperature.
