Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Black body with a beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of vanilla, oats and roasted malt. Flavour of cocoa and coffee. Medium to full body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Rich and delicious.

Can from Beer Merchants. It pours black with a medium tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, espresso, umami, liquorice, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, molasses, pipe tobacco, tar and rocky road. The taste is dry, rich roasted malt, charred action, bitter, burnt toast, earthy, cacao nibs, dark chocolate, toasty, toothy, smoked vibes, pipe tobacco, peppery spice, umami, liquorice, bitter coffee and some alcohol with a dry, roasted finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. Pretty flavourful. Plenty of umami. Good classic example of the style.

A perfectly acceptable higher ABV oatmeal stout. Roasty, velvety, but maybe a bit thin for the ABV. Flavour balance is good, though, nice amount of roast going on. The barrel aged one is a totally different beast. Star. Dragon. Thing. Fun to compare!

Hele dikke roosterige koffiesmaak. Redelijk bitter wel, mocht een vleugje zoeter om wat tegenwicht te bieden. Maar nog steeds een prima stout.

A black beer, a head is quite big and beige. Aroma has liquorice, coffee, roastiness. Taste has coffee, balanced roastiness. Medium+ bodied. Very simple, it's nice, but more complexity would make this more interesting.
