Stay Crumble takes the same 13% imperial oatmeal cream stout base as Real Feel and adds caramel, graham cracker, vanilla, and just a dash of cinnamon, for something tasting just like it’s inspiration, a stroopwafel.

Very smooth and the caramel & cinnamon are very forward. It's very interesting. The smoothness of the cream and caramel notes start it off and finish with the cinnamon which kind of finishes with a little heat.

This is a Cinnamon Toast Crunch beer straight up. I don’t even remember what the other flavors described are supposed to be because all I could taste was sweet cinnamon and graham cracker surrounded on both sides with coffee and chocolate. Killer beer, sweet as heck, very rich and creamy.

Love stroop, here I can taste they were going for that, but without the prompting I got more oatmeal cookie cream sandwich, which is well done. The issue is it is so short lived, surrounded by malt, chocolate and coffee cream on either side in each sip. Aromas is very cinnamon and vanilla forward with coffee and chocolate malt accents, but a bit muddled. Feel is creamy, malty, velvet smooth with cinnamon textures for variants. More interesting pastry stout than good

Pours a black color with a foamy tan head that lasts quite a while. Aroma is sweet caramel and roasted malts.Tastes of vanilla, caramel, alcohol and cinnamon. Cinnamon is more subtle than in other beers I've had. Smooth and creamy.

Very good head production and decent retention.

Huge nose that emphasizes the cinnamon and graham cracker, along with vanilla. The caramel is present, but definitely plays second fiddle to the other flavorings, and melds along well with the malt base. Smells sweet and rich.

A touch metallic on the palate, but otherwise very similar to the nose, with cinnamon and graham cracker leading the way, cracking a hole through your palate's defenses for the vanilla and caramel to follow. Not quite as sweet as you might suspect, but it certainly is rich and dessert-like, reminiscent of a creme brulee in some respects.

A touch fizzy on the palate, although it's still full bodied. Virtually no alcohol sting despite the 13% ABV.

Served from the bottle in a Phase Three snifter.

You stay crumbled, Carthage. Anyway, this stuff pours a straight obsidian topped by a finger of khaki foam. The nose is a blast of Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies: cinnamon, oatmeal, mild raisins (the kind you would find in the very same oatmeal cookies that formed the Creme Pies), molasses, light roasted malts, and some vanilla for good measure. The taste isn't quite as evocative, though the roast, molasses, cinnamon, and vanilla notes continue to pervade, alongside some toasted oatmeal. The body is a hefty medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a full feel. Overall, a very nice stout, one I wouldn't mind having at the ready on a regular basis.

Pours black with a dense tan head, the nose is a waffle cookie, with graham cracker and caramel plus some vanilla.

The taste is all graham cracker and caramel and some vanilla and milk chocolate. The mouthfeel is full and commensurate with the style. What a delicious beer this is.
