Pours a jet black with a quickly dissipating head. Aroma of freshly brewed coffee and roasted malt. Really enjoy the taste of this one. Coffee, roast malt, and chocolate meld together nicely. The mouth feel is silky smooth, but a tad thin. Another nice beer from Big Grove.

Quite bitter with strong flavors of roasted malt and coffee. Usually an oatmeal stout is smoother. Still good though. Opaque black, medium carbonation. A decent beer.

Can from John’s poured into tulip at home. Lacked head seconds after pour, but good coffee oatmeal flavor.
