Lord Falconer pours flat black into the glass with no foam or lace on the glass. Looks like a glass full of motor oil.
The aroma is a pleasant combination of toasted malt, chocolate, a hint of smoke, roast malt and a touch of coffee.
Each sip of this medium bodied beer is smooth, a bit oily with low carbonation. The flavor is roasty with chocolate, smoke and coffee mixed in. Finishes dry with some nuttiness and grassy bitterness. Once gone the roast, chocolate and coffee lingers on the palate.
A very tasty beer that's not over hopped like many other stouts. Good balance of flavors.

A: Color is dark brown/ black and slightly translucent. Poured with a nice tan head that disappeared very quickly. Little lacing, little carbonation. Looked pretty flat by the end of the tasting.
S: A pleasant roasted grain and malt scent. A bit of coffee.
T: I thought this was surprisingly tasty. The taste was dominated by roasted grain, coffee. This is suppose to be an oatmeal stout and I can note some creaminess, but not as much as I expected. Not a lot of complexity here. Nice bitterness and coffee taste to the aftertaste.
M: The biggest negative for this beer was the mouthfeel. Very thin and watery for an oatmeal stout. The flavor was nice but the watery mouthfeel made the beer seem to lack substance.
O: In some ways this was a very drinkable beer. Not too high in alcohol, I could enjoy more than one of these on a cold winters night. If you wanted the look of a stout in a tasty but thin non viscous beer, I guess this fits the bill. I enjoyed drinking it but it did not seem right for the style. I probably would not seek this out.

A: Pours a dark black color with very little head that quickly diminishes to practically no bubbles whatsoever.
S: The aroma is not particularly aggressive with no one scent being greater than any other. Intermingled I am picking up some oats, light malts, some cream and light coffee notes.
T: Roasted malts, a hint of lactose with cocoa and some oats present as well. Nothing dominates but they mingle well with each other.
M: Lighter amount of carbonation and a nice slick feeling on the tongue, not a particularly thick beer, but enough viscosity to hang on to your tongue for a short while.
O: Overall, quite tasty. One could definitely drink a few of these in a row, the lower ABV certainly lends itself to continual drinking.
