Brewed with Golden Promise malt from Scotland and a generous portion of malted and flaked oats, The Vennel pours black with hints of mahogany and a creamy tan head. Named for a passageway between buildings in old Scottish towns, it exudes pleasant coffee character with added flavors of baker's chocolate and light roast on the finish. Mildly carbonated for a rounded mouthfeel.

Can

Look- Pours black, light head.

Smell- Settled- The usual roasted malts Bubbly- gets a creamy vanilla milky smell. Reminds me slightly of a root beer float.

Taste- Roasty, bitter coffee after taste. Slips fast doesn't linger too long.

Feel- Carbonated not to harsh feel leaves with the taste.

Overall 3.75

Taste brings nice creamy oatmeal, toasted grainy cereal and rich oats, layers of chocolate again, ganache, cocoa, dark chocolate, a little roast and coffee again, a hint of baking spice, some bitterness from roast and a little spicy hop note, mild sticky finish, a little dry, bit more bitterness lingering and baking spices

Mouth is med to a bit fuller bod, creamy almost chewy oatmeal, med foamy carb

Overall solid oatmeal stout, just the kinda thing I enjoy on a cool spring night

Poured a dark chocolate color with a 2F head in a Stone Snifter.

Aroma: heavy roasted, malt, coffee, chocolate.

MF: light body, creamy

Taste: excellent: heavy roasted malt, coffe and choco,ate.

Overall: quite enjoyable to drink. The Scottish Golden Promise malt, the flaked and malted oats give the beer a rich character with a low ABV.
