This pitch black oatmeal stout is as rich and complex as they come, but as smooth as chocolate milkshake.
Smoky, coffee and cacao aromas lead into rich chocolate ganache, bitter espresso and cocoa powder, with a warming plum brandy hit and a roasty bitter finish that balances out the chewy sweetness, while a liquid honeycomb mouth-feel lifts the bitterness and lets the vanilla shine through.

Sample at Borefts 2016. Poured a clear dark brown with a round bubbly tan head. The aroma is rich roasty malt, red berry fruit, alcohol. The flavour is strong sweet with a rich oily sweet malt fruity alcoholic palate. Full bodied with flat carbonation and an oily mouthfeel.

Keg tap at BrewDog Shepherds Bush. Darkest black with a bit of small tan head. Vanilla fudge and instant coffee aroma. Sweet milky taste laden with notes of vanilla extract and beef tea. Gum numbing alcohol in the finish with caramel flavours. Bit too sweet for an impy in my opinion. But that’s being picky. It’s bloody gorgeous.

Bottle at my brother’s place. Pours completely inky black with a tiny head which dissipates almost immediately. Aroma is not very pronounced, some dark malts and hops and some spiciness but not a lot of aroma all in all. Mouthfeel is oily and rather thick, spicy and peppery. Flavour: Dark malts are very present, extremely creamy, and very complex. The beer is distinctly spicy for an oatmeal/milk stout, and has very nice notes of hops. Roasty flavours, especially coffee are quite evident. Finish is long and creamy, coffee is intense, roasty and chocolatey and some spice. Awesome beer!

Bottle at home split with Sarah. Picked up from Brewdog online. A jet black oily pour with a rich dark tan head that fades. Aroma is rich dark choc, toasted coconut vanilla, sun cream, raspberry and blackberry. Palate is full and velvety, creamy, woody, airy carboantion stops it from being cloying. Flavour is composed of creamy smooth roasted malts, rich dark chocolate, sweet vanilla and coconut, tangy woodland berries. Nice complexity. REally like it.
