$11 AUD per pour (I think it's 330ml or 375ml, but the menu doesn't specify and I don't feel like inquiring). On-draught @ Taphouse Townsville, Australia.
Thin but chocolatey with a smooth creamy feel. Chocolate malt, dark malt, hints of faint roast, scintillae of cola and even cherry.
Drinks easy enough at 5%, but it's really lacking in body and robustness for an oatmeal stout.
Likable enough but not a top tier expression of the style given the myriad Scandinavian, British, and, yes, American (though I mention the U.S. last in this comparison deliberately) beers therein that easily one-up thus. Feels like an imitative, not innovative brew trying to catch up to its superior international counterparts. We've all had better.
Low C+ (3.04) / ABOVE AVERAGE

375ml can packaged on 31/03/20z poured into a tulip
Look: pouts a dark black with about 2cm of thick tan head which stays for ages leaving some lacing down the glass.
Smell: a little roasted malt, dark chocolate and perhaps a touch of soy.
Taste: lots of chicolate, a little roastiness and a touch of espresso. A little yeast in there too.
Feel: mid bodied, mouth filling, a little tingle of carbonation. Has a good length.
Overall: yeah, I really enjoyed it. Would absolutely have again.
