Dark cola appearance with tanish foamy head that diminished within five minutes. no lacing ina pint glass.Vanilla leading fragrance with a hint of chocolate. Mild taste, finishes with a bitter note, but not overwhelming. Full bodied, not much carbonation. Good beer, would buy again.

Purchased as a single can from Kroger for $1.69. Poured into a nonic pint glass.
L - Pours a sticky motor-oil brownish-black. A thin espresso head tops it all, and quickly dissipates.
S - Espresso, cacao, and fig are very up-front. Some notes of molasses and oat, as well.
T - Chocolate and oat. Freshly-roasted coffee. Thin ethanol and stone fruit notes. Well-balanced, but on the bittersweet end of the spectrum. Finishes with burnt toast.
F - Little to no carbonation. Viscous. Sticky. Full-bodied.
O - A very nice beer in its own right. Worth the weight, I'd say - pun fully intended. Will buy again.

Brownish color and medium tan head to this beer. Tastes of chocolate and oats. Smells of oatmeal. This beer does go down really smooth and has great flavor

very much an old school english style take on this style, despite it being made in america, its a throwback, and in this style, to me, that means a lightly acidic or tannic thing in with the grain, a warmer mash or strike temperature and some yeast character through it, not just the dark malts and the smooth rich oats, which are of course both here in high proportion. some might see the sharpness this has past the center as a flaw, but i see it as traditional, old worldy, and i like it, its textural not flavor complexity, which is cool the taste is pretty straight ahead, bitter roast tempered by earthy oats and protein, with subtle chocolate and coffee, but nothing twisty or turny about it. maybe a kiss of smoke and a little molasses sweetness. i think this is striking because its fresher than most, certainly than the imports, and its so robust while also being really drinkable. they did a nice job with this, and i think the little zizzle in the feel is on purpose, and it certainly aligns with old world examples of the style. well done. cool to have these guys in colorado right now...

Can nabbed at a beer store in Colorado during GABF week:
Crude chocolate, dark malts, subdued roast, and specialty chocolate malt blend in this balanced yet true-to-style Oatmeal stout.
Smooth but robust. Wet. Unrefreshing (to style).
I find no faults in taste or texture, but there is room for improvement (ramp up the roasted barley, make it a bit drier, add intricacy via charred sugars/burnt malts, coffee, or the like, etc.).
A competent and drinkable no-frills Oatmeal stout that nails the rudiments of the style but doesn't stand out compared to either traditional expressions or American masteries thereof. I don't know that I'd buy it over Samuel Smith's or Old Stockyard, but I'd definitely pick up a sixer at $11 or less.
It does tend a bit sweet, though.

I got a can of this off the single shelf from a Kroger just down the road from south metro ice. It poured an opaque dark with off white head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had faint roast, peat and chocolate. The taste had roast and coffee with a subtle sweetness at the front which turned slightly bitter at the end. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer.

Reviewed from notes. Poured from a 16 oz. can into an El Catador Barrel-Aged glass.
A: Very dark brown and almost opaque. An aggressive pour from the can leads to a big three-finger foamy tan head with good retention. Almost nitro-like small bubble movement within the visible carbonation and the head.
S: Roasted malts, chocolate, tobacco, and vanilla. Some sweetness from the oatmeal, and a mild coffee as well. Solid enough nose, but nothing unexpected.
T: Semisweet chocolate and roasted malts. Coffee, vanilla, and roasted bitterness. Sweetness from the oatmeal which balances the roasty (and less hoppy) bitterness. Some drying tobacco and Skoal. More chocolate and roast bitterness in the hang – this still overall tends towards the sweet but is more balanced than a lot of oatmeal stouts.
M: The mouthfeel is a little thin, especially for an oatmeal stout that tastes this big. This might be my biggest complaint of this beer – it isn’t anything that you’d call watery, but it’s deficient here. There aren’t big alcohol flavors, but it seems a little warming going down, especially for a fairly tame ABV. I might have guessed this was double-digits, anyway. Low carbonation sensation, but as expected for style.
O: A nice smell and flavors. The alcohol presence and (maybe even more so) the body need some work. I don’t know if more oatmeal would give it the expected chewier mouthfeel or not. But it didn’t hold up to expectations there. Otherwise nicely executed.

Pours an opaque black with a thin tan head. The aroma is full of roast and chocolate notes. Nice full mouthfeel, with a big body to match. The flavor is dark and rich roasted notes, with a touch of coffee on the finish. A solid Oatmeal stout from a good brewery.

I'm a bit of a stout newb, but this sure is a tasty brew. Lots of coffee/chocolate notes with a bit of sour fruit in the background with a slight bitter finish.

Another pickup from my most recent sojourn to the rust belt boom town of Dayton, Ohio. Impressive brown head sits for several minutes above its near black body. Nose Nose is sweet milk and coffee and a backing of chocolate. Slightly soured oats also present. Looking good.
Definitely heavy on the oat and coffee flavors that signify the style, also with a moderate late sour note. Some balancing hop presence, maybe medicinal and pine that makes itself known while still being mostly buried. Not quite as smooth in texture as some oaties. This is a solid, flavorful drinking stout. If you are an oatmeal person, this should be on your list.

A: Pours a deep brown, in the glass it is black with a large medium tan head.
S: Rich creamy chocolate, with notes of vanilla and coffee. Some molasses and caramel.
T: Roasted malt, creamy with dark chocolate and coffee in the finish with a slight earthy lingering bitterness.
M: Medium in body, but the carbonation makes it feel a little lighter.
O: Overall tasty, it smells like it would taste more like a Imperial.. the flavor is somewhere between Oatmeal stout and Imperial. Not a bad brew, certainly a little more bold than your typical stout.

Nearly jet black pour, tan head, beautiful oatmeal stout. Aromas are dark chocolate, raisins, and black licorice.
Taste is on point - dark chocolate, stone fruit, black licorice, but the feel is creamy enough to keep reminding you as you sip this that you're drinking a really nice oatmeal stout.
