This is an oatmeal stout that is brewed with pale, caramel, chocolate, and roasted malts. Oats are also added to give the beer a fuller and sweeter taste. The roasted malts give the beer its dark color as well as its intense flavor and aroma. The flavors of toffee and chocolate are prevalent but not overpowering. Since the beer gets so much flavor from the malts there is not a lot of hop flavor. There is just enough hop bitterness to complement the sweetness of the malt.

Color is opaque dark.
Aroma is of mild chocolate.
Taste is mild chocolate. Improves as it warms - as with all stouts in my opinion. There may be some coffee in there but it is very subdued. A very smooth stout.
Mouthfeel is good.
Overall, a very good oatmeal stout - smooth with a very good chocolate flavor on the end.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: Dark mahogany in color, opaque to light, with a large, robust tan head, and prominent, unbroken lacing.

Aroma: An abundance of dark malt greets the senses, with prominent coffee, bitter chocolate, and dark cocoa.

Taste: Opens with prominent bitter cocoa and chocolate, these carry throughout the taste. There are hints of black licorice as well, though quite subtle, as well as molasses. Late in the taste, the cold coffee dominates.

Mouth feel: Smooth, soft, full and rich, velvety to the palate.

Drinkability/notes: Very nice, quite authentic to the style, a fine example.

Presentation: Packaged in a sixty-four ounce brown glass Pecan Street growler, served in a New Belgium Brewing chalice.

On-tap 12/20/2014 at Boundary Brewhouse in Pawtucket, RI, served in a US tumbler pint glass.

A: The beer is a deep dark brown color, with a short brown head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains coffee, oats, roasted malts, some chocolate and a faint touch of hops.

T: The taste starts out with a hearty roasted malt character. Then some flavors of coffee and chocolate come in. The hops presence is mild but complementary and brings a good balance. The after-taste is slightly bready and slightly sweet.

M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.

O: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, decent kick, good representation of style, this is a solid beer to drink for a while if you’re in the mood for the style.
