Chocolate Banana Oatmeal Stout
Dry Dock Brewing Co.

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty good, lots of banana on the nose and the taste. As advertised.

 

Absolutely delicious. It smells like the chocolate banana 5/penny taffy candies I bought as a child. Tastes like a Bananas Foster dessert. Not too sweet, but a lovely banana/chocolate/toffee flavor. Super smooth mouth feel.

12oz can. Poured out an opaque, jet-black color with a small, tan head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled strongly of banana, chocolate and toffee. Sweet banana and chocolate taste with toffee and some caramel.

Pours a dark brown (nearly black), with lots of ruby highlights. About three fingers worth of dark tan head seems to last forever, and leaves quite a bit of lacing.

On tap at the North Dock tap room. Served in a standard pint glass

Pours opaque black with frothy tan head that sticks around and leaves a good amount of lacing

Smells of chocolate mostly, just a very mild bit of banana comes through once you get past the chocolate. The smell is very nice, but not terribly complex.

Rich and smooth with lots of chocolate, oats and to a lesser degree roasted malts. I struggled to get any of the banana at first, but as the beer warmed, the banana started to peek through a little bit. The oatmeal really shows in the smooth and creamy mouthfeel.

Medium/heavy body and lightly carbonated

Overall this was a good beer, even if a bit sweet.
