An oatmeal stout brewed with English roasted barley and caramunich malt to impart a roasty and slightly sweet malt flavor. The addition of flaked oats lends creaminess and body. The Heine Brothers' specially roasted, organic, Mexican coffee is added in two doses; a ration is stirred into the hot unfermented beer to extract coffee flavor, then freshly brewed coffee is also added after fermentation is complete, to impart fresh coffee flavor and aroma.

A: Pours an opaque black with a thick, pillowy tan head that laces deep into the glass.

S: Aromas of roasted grain, coffee, cream, and dark chocolate are most prevalent on the nose. This is definitely a coffee bomb.

T: Notes of coffee, dark chocolate, heavy cream, roasted grain, vanilla bean, oatmeal, and minerals wash across the palate. The finish is oddly short and flat with coffee and chocolate flavors.

M: Surprisingly light in body and a bit oily. I found this ale to be a bit thin and watery in the mouth.

O: This is a drinkable coffee stout, but could use further refinement. In the end, it looks nice, but comes off as a bit one-dimensional.

Served in a St. Bernardus chalice at Local Option.

Going from one coffee stout down the street to another here. It pours a straight obsidian topped by a finger of dark tan foam. The nose comprises coffee, milk chocolate, and roasted malts. Unlike before the coffee is still the primary scent, but it compliments and draws out the others. Just like a leader ought. The taste brings in more of the same, along with some light vanilla bean and some light molasses in the background. The body is a light-leaning medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a kinda thin feel. Overall, a very nice coffee stout, one that doesn't overdo it on the coffee and whose somewhat thin feel is really the only thing holding it back.
