Good looking oatmeal stout with plenty of coffee on the nose and in the flavor. I was a bit distracted by a mild metallic flavor, but the smooth feel and nice roundness makes this a pretty good easy drinking coffee stout. Cheers!

Pours black with just shy of two fingers of khaki foam on top. Fair head retention with no lacing. Aroma is espresso, lactose, and chocolate, with bread, and earthy malts. Flavor profile is espresso, milk, lactose, toffee, and chocolate. Nice bite of bready and earthy malts in the back. Mouth feel is smooth, and creamy, with a just a bit of fizz in it. Thickness is medium-thick. Overall, a very smooth and pleasant espresso stout, just like a well-crafted gibraltar.
Served in a 12oz snifter from a 12oz can.

22oz bomber served in a tall glass. Beer pours deep, dark brown, and is opaque in the glass, with a thick, foamy brownish tan head. Aroma is big and roasty, with roasted malt more forward than coffee, at least from a cold temperature. But in the flavor, the coffee comes through right away. Americano and milk stout blend together in perfect balance and are amplified by a satisfying, creamy mouthfeel, with just enough carbonation to kick through and keep it lively. Well executed & highly enjoyable.

Reviewed from notes. The appearance is a jet black body with a one and a half finger off-white/tan head with a fairly thick off-white/tan foamy lacing. The smell has some dark roasted coffee with some espresso. The taste is roasty yet also bitter coffee flavors coming through fairly strong, milk chocolate amplifying the flavor. She has a roasty coffee aftertaste and dry espresso finish. The palate is about a medium, comes across semi-sessionable, and has a carbonation which is pretty smooth yet good for the style and to me. Overall, this is a good American Stout. Good job Oakshire, I’d have this one again.

Black in color with no light penetration. There's a fingernail of beige covering the top of this beer. The aroma is espresso first along with some creamy oatmeal in the mix. I'm tasting very bold espresso with just a trace of flaked oats and dark malt. The mouth is creamy and smooth due to the flaked oats, but also a touch oily due to the coffee.
