A weaponized quantity of freshly roasted whole bean coffee from Dark Matter Coffee Roasters imbues our Deth’s Tar Barrel-Aged Imperial Oatmeal Stout with assertive coffee aromatics without overshadowing the base beer on the palate. Pair with rich food or enjoy on its own. Keep cold. Enjoy now. We mean it.

The subtlety and nuance of the barrel aging and coffee are outstanding. Best version of Deth’s Tarr I’ve had so far.

Jet black with a dark tan foam
Smells like sweet molasses and licorice and malt - so good! And coffee.
Tastes like it smells - dark sweet molasses. The malt is there. The coffee is just a touch so it is not overpowering.
Feel is a little thin for an imperial (maybe why it is listed as an oatmeal stout), but still very smooth and creamy.
Overall, an outstanding stout. Is it worth what I paid for a 4 pack? I’d say any 4 pack is not worth that. But, if it were in a bomber at the same $/oz, I would probably not think a thing about it. So maybe it is worth it. So good!

Poured from a 12 oz can dated 9/28/22 into the test glass
A - Gunmetal black, a quick pour created a loose knit off white cap. The cap quickly dissipated. During the remaining experience, threads accumulate in the center, gather and run to the edge.
S - Barrel vanilla, coffee, raisin, Char, bakers chocolate.
T - All the aromatics, with a deeper dried fruit experience, plum, dark roast coffe, with anise kissing the edge of black pepper.
M - Medium in body, sweet start is quickly shifted to center with enough biterness, finish is espresso dry, linger is candy, alcohol, and forever.
O - A beauty of a beast, the body is misleading, with each sip this punches coffee, bourbon, dark fruit, rich chocolate.
Worth every penny.
