Purchased from the Bells Beach Brewing Bar in Geelong in March 2024 and drunk in May of that year.

L: It's an impenetrable, jet black in the glass, with a thin, mocha-coloured head. Lots of fast-moving, very small bubbled carbonation can be seen at the edges of the glass.

S: Burnt, roasted dark grains.

T: The taste begins with burnt notes, reminiscent of roasted dark grains, accompanied by coffee and chocolate. The finish is a sweet twist of vanilla, berries and more smokey, burnt notes, with the latter reappearing retronasally.

M: For an oatmeal stout, the body is surprisingly thin, and the finish, while long and sweet, remains thin. Carbonation is medium to low, and carbonic prickle is very low.

O: This a drinkable and approachable stout, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Cheers!
