Almost solid black appearance
Light carbonation with about a medium body.
Aroma is coffee,malt,chocolate, mocha candy.
Taste is very similar to aroma, very mild sweetness. Slight milk chocolate, mocha candy like taste.
Overall this was a very flavorful beer that I would look for again.

Dark brown with ruby hints around the edges and a decent creamy tan head that hung around for a while and left spotty lacing.
The aroma is pretty subtle with dark chocolate malts and hints of espresso to complement the slight sweetness of caramel.
Taste follows the aroma with bitter coffee and dark chocolate malts. There is less sweetness than the aroma suggested.
Mouthfeel was creamy due to the nitro with a dry finish.
Good though I didn't get a whole lot of the oatmeal character - maybe because of nitro. This is a fairly drinkable stout with little that stands out.

Appearance: Black with carmel highlights
Smell: Mild roast notes, no yeast or hop character, clean.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied, too light for a oatmeal stout, right on for an Irish dry stout.
Taste: Malt, roast, dry chocolate, thin for an oatmeal stout. Nice and clean, not offensive as some of the other Hurricane brews are.
Drinkability: Much more drinkable than other beers in the taster. Lower alcohol and mild flavor made for a medium drinkable beer.
Did taster, then when back the next day and ordered pints of what stood out. Unfortunately many of the beers here are plagued by diactyl, buttered popcorn, aroma and flavor - ales and lagers (yikes!). Some to the point where we just left a 1/2 pitcher on the table.

Pours a deep deep brown that essentially looks black. Head is thinnish, but creamy from the nitro. Retention is decent, as is stickiness.
The aroma is sweet from caramel and chocolate, but is balanced out by a bit of coffee and even some faint hop notes. A bit mellow, but still nice overall.
The flavour is more of the same, but with the coffee coming through a touch more, along with the hops being bumped up a touch as well, although still very mellow as they should be. Mouthfeel is full bodied and creamy for sure, again thanks to the nitro.
This is a nice oatmeal stout. It's a bit of a shame that it's on nitro as it would be much more kick-ass if poured without it. Still, it's well worth a try.
