Pours a deep drown nearing black. There's a quarter inch of brownish, creamy head that sits atop. The nose is very faint with mild notes of roasted malts and coffee. The taste is rich, deep roasted malts, faint coffee, dark fruit, mild diacetyl, and faint alcohol esters. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, well carbonated and very smooth.
This is a pretty solid porter. It's very drinkable, well balanced, and smooth. This is a beer that I would be willing to buy again.

Very enjoyable Porter. Pours a dense brown color from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Ruby red highlights throughout the glass. Big light brown head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma is roasted malt coffee and a little chocolate. Flavor is more of the same but more pronounced. Good solid Porter flavors. Mouthfeel is fery good. Rich, a little finishing bitterness but mostly a creamy, smooth finish, helped by the oats. If you are in the mood for a Porter, this one does not disappoint.

L: Pours brilliant dark brown with ruby highlights under a 1” light tan foam collar that is moderately persistent and lacy.
S: Light chocolate aromas mingle with traces of spice and oatmeal. Malt aromas are medium to medium high, hop aromas are low.
T: Malt with some chocolate that moves towards dark bitter towards the finish. Light roast flavors with some grain. Nothing harsh or burnt.
F: Very silky, velvety and creamy with a medium to medium full body and medium fine soft carbonation. Has a nice oat texture.
O: Flavorful, fulfilling and easy to drink.

August 2013 bottling I picked up at the brewery last year (from their cooler and placed in my fridge till now.) Poured into a tulip appears black in color with a light khaki cap that fades quickly to a thin line of head.
Smells roasty and milk-chocolate like with some earth, coffee and minerals.
Taste is dry and roasty with earth, coffee, light char, bakers cocoa and citrus/mineral edge. Mild dark fruitness like raisony alcohol then back to chocolate flavors.
This is a dry, light bodied brew with ample carbonation. Overall a decent, above average oatmeal stout. Id never guess this bottle was 2 years old.

Poured into a Due South Brewing Co. snifter. Label says Bottled On: 090914
A- Pours a mostly opaque black color with a 1/4 inch light tan head that retains a bit before becoming a thin ring around the edge of the glass and a small center patch of sheer surface foam. Semi-resilient lacing leaves a solid ring behind.
S- Dark roasted malt brings to mind chocolate and coffee. Definitely on the sweeter side.
T- Not as sweet as the aroma with the roastiness providing more of a bitter chocolate quality.
M- Kind of thin, even for a porter. Medium carbonation and a body leaning toward the fuller side.
O- Starts off nice but the thinness in the mouthfeel and only slightly above average flavors keep this one in the "Just OK" range.

Comes out of the growler a rich, warm sable that lets daylight in only at the very bottom and has a very thick, fluffy and persistent tan head. Aroma has notes of roast malt, coffee and licorice. Flavor has a malty core and notes of chocolate, coffee and licorice with a dusty hint of oatmeal. Smooth texture does not have very robust body, but fizz level is good. Welcome to the neighborhood!
