On tap into a snifter. Solid opaque black color, nice creamy nitro esque head, great hard crown. Pale chocolate nose with some bark, cinnamon, and a touch of anise. The taste is thin up front, but gains traction with some bitter coffee up front, shifting into cacao and cedar, a hint of vanilla, and ending on a rich burnt malt flavor reminiscent of sweet charcoal. The body is oily and slick, moderate dry, and nicely effervescent.
Great dry stout with a nice espresso accent without being overwhelming.

Coal black body; thick and frothy light tan head; sticky sheets of foam cling to the glass. Excellent blend of charred and roasted grains on the nose with notes of coffee permeating it all. Mild sweet chocolate flavor; vanilla and cocoa; low-key bitterness. Heavy body; smooth and silky on the palate; gently sweet overall.
This beer delivers a rich and delicious treat to your palate. The coffee and espresso nicely balance the malt and chocolate sweetness. A mighty fine beer...

Bursting coffee aromas. Silky and velvety vanilla on the palate. Light tannin flavors. Not as bitter as many stouts. Creamy and rich. Nice roastiness.

Poured from the can into a nonic pint glass.
Frothy rich and deep forming cascading head right out of the can. Nice tan color with a large four finger controlled fist full tall head, filled with fine and small swiss cheese like bubbles. Classic very dark brown body nearly black with an excellent deep hinting red glow. Excellent looking stout.
Real nice aroma as well. Rich bursting coffee, with a ripping bean quality just ground right and fresh. Hints with a good amount of nutty quality in the mix kind of husky thick grains as well mixing with wonderful roast malt character.
Palate is a real winner. Excellent silkly and light body, with creamy textures just whipped up with a faint touch of vanilla to match. Excellent rich cookie dough flavors of dark chocolate and coffee mixed right in. Finishes with a real nice fruity bean quality and a touch of phenolic clove spice which mixes in just real nicely.
This packs an enjoyable and rich amount of flavor under 6% abv. Excellent brew.

207 stamped on the bottom of the can. 207th day of 2018?
A pleasing beer to pour cuz it looks so nice whilst pouring and when you finish pouring. You know what I mean.
Looks black to me, opaque, nice head of tannish foam, great lacing and head retention.
Sure can smell the espresso, smells like the finest caffeine fix I could ask for. Roasty as well...what a shock.
The taste doesn't disappoint as it follows the nose to a tee. Assuming that this was canned in early July, it has held up very well.
Mouthfeel is most suitable.
Coffee and beer really do compliment each other when done right. Like this one.

Probably my favorite accessible local brew. Overcast is available about anywhere around my parts. 22 oz bottles are a routine $4. It's a great drink. Not too heavy on the body but great on the flavor. Consistent through the years. I would never turn this one down and keep it my top 5 just because I can always get it.

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.
