Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep dark brown color, with a very thin beige head that fades quickly and leaves very little lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains roasted malts, chocolate, dark fruit, licorice, some alcohol and a faint touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out sweet with flavors of chocolate, dark fruit and licorice. Then a mild breadiness for the style comes in from a hearty roasted malt character and some oats. The hops presence is very mild as expected and there’s not much hint of the 10+ ABV. The after-taste is slightly sweet.
M: Smooth but a bit watery, medium-to-heavy body, light-to-medium carbonation, finish is dry and slightly sticky.
O: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, strong kick, not the best representation of style, despite not being the most typical Oatmeal Stout and not starting out as appealing as most others in the style, once you start drinking it the beer can grow on you. Lastly, with this beer I bid a fond farewell to the Cyclone Series, which has certainly produced some off-center creations.
