Pours a deep brown so dark as to appear black, with thin ruby highlights at the edges when held to light & lots of particulates. The pour produces 2+ fingers of mocha, somewhat lasting, frothy head that leaves little lacing. Aroma is dark roasted malt, rich coffee and dark chocolate with hints of toffee, char, grain & faint dark fruit. Taste is sweet fronted, robust dark malts & slight burnt notes composed of roast, dark sweet chocolate/Hershey's chocolate syrup, coffee dark fruit & vanillia. The finish exhibits a burnt, unsweetened cocoa, molasses & a low cola like sweetness. I found this cola hint in other imperial oatmeal stouts Aftertaste is dry, bitter chocolate, a more exaggerated burnt note than in the finish. Mouthfeel is heavy bodied with moderate carbonation, very, very creamy with a little peppery bite beginning at midsip and lasting through the finish. The astringency in the aftertaste is low. Overall a nice brew.

It may not seem like it, but the Bottle Backlog here at Chez Woody is dwindling! Each Pop! of the cap gets me a little closer to my goal. Here goes another one!
From the Bottle: "Sink the Status Quo."
I was curious to try this one since the label read "Stout with Coffee added", which seemed a tad perplexing. Hmm. Nothing as going to happen until I Pop!ped the cap & so I did just that. I think that I may have overdone it earlier so I went with a slow, gentle pour since I was not up for cleaning a mess. Once complete, I gave it an in-glass swirl to raise just under two fingers of dense, foamy, bubbly, deep-tan/light-brown head with moderate retention that left decent lacing in its wake. Color was Black/Opaque (SRM = 44), allowing ZERO light penetration. Nose was rich, more towards mocha or chocolate than straight black coffee, but I understood where they were coming from. Mouthfeel was big, full & creamy, just the way an Oatmeal Stout ought to be. I just kind of let it roll around on my tongue to get a better sense of it & also to allow it to warm. I was still unsure about coffee, per se, but I definitely got a lot of dark Baker's chocolate and a light roastiness, but I am unsure that I could have identified coffee on my own. Finish was dry with a good bit of bitterness as well as a persistent chocolatiness.

Sampling a cellar temp 12 oz bottle poured into a snifter. The beer pours a deep dark cola brown with some white sediment coming up from the bottom of the bottle and settling to the bottom of my glass. I get a tan creamy head of 3 cm that recedes slowly to a sturdy edge layer and a large wispy island in the middle of my glass.
The aroma is rich and malty with coffee grounds and dark chocolate. I also get some brown sugar notes and a bit of roasted character. No hint of the 8% abv nor any hop presence on this beer.
The first sip reveals a silky texture and slightly sticky feel with an average body. The carbonation is mild and spacious and rolls across my palate. The beer does drink pretty easy for the physical traits.
Flavor is heavy with coffee ground and roasted malt notes. I get some dark chocolate and some hints of vanilla and grainy oats, but the roast hits dominate this beer. Again no hops that I detect and the booze is well hidden throughout my sampling.
A solid stout that I am glad to have purchased, I think it would easily sneak up on you if you have more than one as the booze is undetectable IMO.

Pours a dark brown in color, with a thin head. Notes of Chocolate, black coffee and dark malts on the nose. Tasting, you get the chocolate and coffee upfront with the roasted malts on the back end. Another winner from Thomas Creek.

Pours an opaque dark brown almost black color with khaki colored head. Coffee, roasted malts, chocolate, and oats on the nose; follows onto the palate. Full bodied. Finishes with chocolate and coffee.
