A dry oatmeal stout. Coffee, roast and chocolate flavors throughout, very smooth body from the addition of flaked oats. The use of six different malts makes this a very complex beer.

I had this on tap at Short's Burger and Shine, served in a pint glass.

Appearance- This has a great cap with two-fingers of dense and smooth, coffee colored head. The body is an opaque dark brown body.

Smell- The head is far too weak for a stout. There is a little bit of roast and some grassy hop, pretty uneventful.

Taste- This has a really sweet profile. The roast that was noticed on the nose has virtually disappeared on the palate. There are some notes of brown sugar and vanilla, even a little spicy hop. Not really roasted enough, and it may be more like a cream stout. I like it regardless.

Mouth feel- This beer is medium bodied. It is creamy and goes down easy.

Overall- This is a good stout that could use a little fixing up. The nose is probably the biggest problem, would really like to smell some roast and vanilla. The roasted malt should be better represented on the palate as well.

Served on tap at the brewery alongside some AE ice cream. Pours dark brown / black without much of a head on it. Nose consists of chocolate with a hint of smokey chocolate. The taste follows the nose, opening with sweet, rich chocolate tones that fade to a bit of bitter bakers chocolate. This next finishes with some bitteer coffee flavors that complement the bitter chocolate. Coffee mixed with chocolate linger on the finish. This is a well crafted stout and was a pleasure to drink. Not mind blowing by any means, but still very enjoyable.
