Hornswoggler - Oreos
The Veil Brewing Co. - Production Brewery

 

 

Poured from a 16oz can into a pint glass. Thanks Kevin for this one.

Pours a dark black body with a small brown head that reduces fairly quickly.

Aromas are chocolate, cocoa, roasty malt. Taste mirrors the nose, chocolate and cocoa and very roasty, charred malt with a bit of creamy Oreo stuffing in there. Mouthfeel is medium, not super thick but still velvety.

 

 

 

 

 

 

pours out dark with a soapy head that diasapates quickly, no lacing. probably the most chocolate forward beer ive had. huge amounts of fudgey and smooth milk chocolate, as well as some bitter sweet character and roasty malt. definite creamy milk sugar coming through, as well as a sugary vanilla like note. feel is super soft. seriously tastes like oreos dipped in melted chocolate ... just ridiculous!

pours very little head. Smooth creamy looking dark black. The smell has a good peanut butter more and a slight booze that adds some good sweetness. The chocolate smells baked and has a slight vanilla that gets lost. The taste has the same but the sugary vanilla cream comes out more and the lactose sweetness complements the more slight bitter and sugary dark chocolate from the oreo. It really comes off as an Oreo dipped in chocolate. The feel is weirdly light with very little carbonation and a a delicious creamy milk feel. A very good beer and delicious. Go for it.

 

 

Had this a couple of weeks ago on draft at The Veil and I'd say it was easily my favorite milk stout. Just an incredibly good milk stout.

Seriously, with all the ballyhoo I'm only the 5th reviewer?

Can from late January released obtained via awesome trade and well-taken care of. Poured into the only glass possible - a Behind the Veil Teku - and allowed to warm.

L: Not surprisingly, it was a bit explodey on the beginning and the head is so dark it's initially hard to distinguish it. So yes, dark brown head, which does recede very quickly, almost as if it's boiling and leaving unattractive brown lacing on the glass. And yes, there are some particles. Delicious-looking tiny Oreo particles. It's something you excuse only for this beer.

S: Chocolate, sweet lactose, chocolate milk, roasted malts. Can't say I get "Oreo" specifically, but chocolate, sweet lactose, and malt pretty much cover it. It's quite good.

T: Chocolate, sweet lactose, chocolate milk, milk and cookies, vanilla. Slightly bitter hopped finish, enough to remind you this is a stout beer and not chocolate milk.

F: Medium to full body, surprisingly strong carbonation. Pretty good construction and balance. Not boozy as ABV is lower than most of their IPAs.

O: Sure it's gimmicky, but it's pretty good and I'm glad I got a chance to try it. Just pulling this off safely is an accomplishment.

 

 

Pours pitch black with almost no head. Small pieces of oreos lays in the top.
Aroma has cocoa, coffee, almonds, cookies, little boozy. A bit like Noa pecan mud.
Taste is cocoa, coffee, cookies, would have expected more Oreo flavor
