Can. Black with loose brown head that rapidly fades. Molasses coffee chocolate chip oatmeal cookies aroma. Sweet per style but balanced with oat tanginess and bitter chocolate finish. Medium full body and the carbo is weird like very low but with an extremely fine bite and tingle. More sessionable by alcohol than by palate. Good.

Pours a dark brown color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma of coffee and roasted malts. Taste is black coffee, dark chocolate and roasted malts. Thick and creamy.

Look: It pours dark brown with a tan head. Head retention is average.
Smell: It has roast in the aroma with dark fruits most like plums.
Taste: It has roast flavors with a bit of cola. There is a bit of sweetness with very low nuts. It has a cola like quality.
Feel: It has a medium body with an aftertaste on the sweet side.
Overall, fairly favorable easy drinking beer.

From a 16oz can, dated 10/12/22. Served in the 2022 NH Pint Days nonic.
Pours a thin-appearing chestnut-brown with an insignificant fizzy, soda-like head. Retention is minimal, with no lacing.
Nose is roasty, chocolatey, malty and mildly sweet. Aroma of Ovaltine.
Taste is thin but pleasant, roasted-charred almond skins, paper chocolate wrappers, cola, brown sugar oatmeal muffin. Watery papery, cardboardy finish.
Feel is simultaneously thin and creamy which presents as sort of slick and mouth-coating, I guess. Ample fine, tingly carbonation. Did I say it was thin?
Overall, I’ve had better and I’ve had worse. Tastes fine but doesn’t much satisfy. Cream soda meets mildly oxidized cascadian ale.

Deep chocolate color like a stout, but minimal head that dissipates very quickly. Not at all complex and definitely thin rather than robust and creamy. Very mild flavor for a stout, with hints of cola. Think of it as stout for someone who has never tried a stout - a gentle introduction, kind of like a bowl of chili for people who don't like heat. Pleasant drinking, but little depth of flavor. A stout should not deserve the word "thin" like this. Not a bad brew, but it barely counts as a stout. I did like the fact that it was not loaded up with fruits and spices though, unlike so many modern American brews that use the word "stout" in their name. Not one I will buy again.

Ever so slightly transparent liquid. Not much head. Smell and taste coffee and chocolate.
Feels is quite harsh for an oatmeal stout.
Not one of my favorites. I'll pass on the next one.
