Nice dark brown/black color, smelled roast-y and chocolate-y (so yummy!). It's a bit heavy on the palate, buttery good. Had a great coffee, chocolate, roast taste. Superb beer.

Bottled 6/10/16
Pours an off white creamy bubbly 1/2 finger head that fades semi slowly with decent lacing, very dark brown with a bit of light getting through
Nose creamy dark malts, a little cocoa, creamy milk chocolate, toasted oats, a mild fusel alcohol, fudgey caramel, chewy nougat, nice but the alcohol is a bit difficult.
Taste brings more chocolate but a little fake chocolate flavoring, again that mild fusel alcohol almost rubbing alcohol, mild creamy oats and milk chocolate but very watery, cocoa, little fudgey caramel chewy nougat candy thing again. Finish little bitter, sticky little syrupy, light overall with a little watery chocolate milk and oats.
Mouth is med bod but somehow watery
Overall eh, some flavors aren't bad but it's watery and that fusel rubbing alcohol thing.

This beer is supposed to be 7.2% but it drinks almost like a session ale.
Looks ok. Black or dark beown in color with a mocha color head that is unfortunately a bit fizzy for what i want in an oatmeal stout.
Aroma is some dark malts and moderate bakers chocolate.
Taste falls flat. It should have more depth and body from the oats. Very one dimensional in just offering some simple chcolate malt presence. Thin and mild tasting.
Mouthfeel is thin and a touch fizzy.
Overall this beer drinks like a chcolate session beer but it should taste like its ABV. Uninspired. I ended up pouring half the bottle out as I lost interest and felt it wasn't worth it.

Im sampling a cellar temp 22 oz bottle poured into a snifter.
The beer pours a dark cocoa brown color with no light passing through the glass. A creamy tan foam of about 2 cm rises up with a gentle pour. This foam recedes slowly to a sturdy surface layer and sticky edge of foam. Some sticky lattice clings to the glass after each sip creating some strings of slowly sliding bubbles.
Aroma is fairly subdued but there is some roasted malt and a bit of sweet chocolate. No hops or booze detected and definitely not very complex.
First sip reveals a very fine carbonation and average body. The texture is smooth and silky, but i general I thought the beer would have a little more umph to the body.
The flavor is all malt with some chocolate and a little brown sugar, I also get hints of roasted malt. No hops and no booze anywhere in this beer.
IN general this beer is less robust than I had hoped it would be and I admit to being a little disappointed with the brew. That being said, the beer isnt flawed or bad, it just leaves me desiring more from the flavor and body.

a: Very dark clear ruby with a two inch thick tan head which receded to rocky surface foam and patchy lacing.
s; Mildly of alcohol.
t: Chocolate up front followed by a moderate hop bite. Bitterness initially lingers on the sides of the tongue. Slight wateriness. Later alcohol becomes more prominent.
m: Light to medium with smoothness but watery notes, some carbonation tingle.
o: A lightweight for a stout. The chocolate flavor boosts it somewhat. Drinkable but lacking heft. Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout is worlds better.
