Pours dark. Tan foam. Hoppy aroma. Heavy hop body. Sweet bitter chocolate finish. Definitely in reverse. Unique and delicious. Complex yet drinkable. Excellent.

Poured from a 12 ounce scan, body pours a dark black body with a mocha colored. Excellent lacing.

Aroma is malty char and chocolate.

Taste follows nose with up front cocoa/chocolate flavor, but added farther in the background are berry notes along with a light bitterness and hop flavor. It might sound like a dog’s breakfast, but the elements pull together to create an interesting stout.

Carbonation is medium with a soft but substantial mouthfeel. No sign of ABV.

Poured into nonic pint glass: color is black, head is tan with a frothy head of mixed bubbles, head presents 1-2 fingers thick, dissipates to solid top with plenty of lacing on the glass sides.

Smell is roast, oatmeal, chocolate, light coffee, clean hops.

Taste is chocolate, roast, oatmeal, some coffee, bread, malt, light berry, limited hops.

Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, low/moderate bitterness.

Overall a very pleasant oatmeal stout that hides its strength well - plenty of chocolate, toast, roast, light coffee aroma and flavors.

Pours a deep dark mahogany with a caramel colored head that hangs around.

Malted bread, caramel, coffee, and raspberry in the nose.

Coffee, caramel, raspberry, and whole grain bread with nice interplay.

Pours dark chocolate brown with a thick tan head. Great lacing. Aroma is full of roasted chocolate malt. Flavor follows the nose, sweet up front. Feel is medium bodied, lightly carbonated. Overall, a fine beer.

A- fantastic. Oily black, completely opaque, creamy frothy espresso colored head that leaves tons of lacing

S-Hoppy? Not what I was expecting but good. Roasted undertones l, dark berries

T- it’s like someone dumped a little bit of IPAs in a stout. Rich fruit and chocolate is augmented by piney hope resin, with espresso in the finish

M- oily and viscous

O- it’s unique, atypical for the style but it works for it
