Beard Crumbs is a smooth dark stout teeming with notes of chocolate, coffee, and an extra punch of holiday cheer via the addition of caramelized raisins. It delivers the joy of an oatmeal raisin cookie, minus the crumbly clean up.

Pours a dark brown with full khaki head. Scent is sweet from the raisin and roasted malt. Taste starts out sweet and roasty, but morphs into more bitter roast on the back end. My guess is it must be hops. Full mouthfeel and an aftertaste that is bittersweet

Description: Color is a deep, dark brown and the beer pours smoothly with no head and a glassy appearance. Smell is roasty with some sweetness and dark fruit, although overall it's pretty muted. As to be expected, the taste is malty and roasted with some sweetness - sort of like the aroma - with stronger notes of dark fruit and a little bitterness on the finish. Feel is nice - pretty smooth and velvety with a medium-heavy body and low carbonation.
Overall: 4 (This beer is good and I may or may not drink it again) Not bad. Not great, but not bad. There are certainly better stouts out there but for an oatmeal stout this is appropriate and drinkable. I wouldn't necessarily seek it out, but wouldn't scoff at it either.

From the can in a snifter. This very nice holiday stout pours a nice
blackish brown with a nice head of off white foam that subsides to a thin
ring, thin wispy pool, and features nice light lacing. Nose of cocoa, raisin,
brown sugars, and subtle herbal spice notes from hops. Flavors follow the
nose with cocoa and dark mulled raisins with brown sugars and a light herbal
hop note on the rear of the taste that lingers to a light bitterness. Nice mouth feel;
medium light body, smoothness from the oats, lightly creamy, and a lingering bitter
malt and subtle hop aftertaste. Overall a decent little brew.
Cheers

Draft at the brewery. 10 oz tulip.
A: black with a finger of tan head. Otherworldly lacing. Modest retention at best.
S: sweet on the nose. Raisin is definitely there, molasses, and roasted malt.
T: sweet, moderately roasted arrival. Oats express as a grainy, nutty, and malty middle. Prunes. Very strong bitterness on the end; more hops I think than roast. Some lingering sweetness.
M: where this really shines. Full
Bodied and moderately carbonated. Not too slick, but slick.
O: quite sweet for an oatmeal stout, with less roast than I associate with the style, but the hoppiness on the end balances it out well and 7.3% is not at all detectable. Absolutely six pack worthy.
