Double Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Stout
The coffee lover’s consummate beer. Brewed with an abundance of flaked oats, bitter and imported chocolates, and two types of coffee, this stout has an intense fresh-roasted java nose topped with a frothy, cinnamon-colored head that goes forever.

355ml Bottle - Black with a tan head. Coffee, plain chocolate, liquorice and some earthy notes in the aroma. Roasted and earthy taste with coffee and plain chocolate dominating. Some slightly metallic notes can be detected in the finish but they do not last long and notes of vanilla and coffee take over after that.

Pours black from the bottle with a creamy, yellowish, tannish head. The head subsides and lingers for the duration. Aroma is coffee and chocolate with an emphasis on the coffee. Taste is oatmeal sweet, but also thick black espresso. The coffee dominates through to the finish, although a light chocolate sweetness is discernable near the end. Body is thick, sticky, and rich. No need to have dinner after this one. Drank this one right after an Anchor Porter, and although this is an excellent brew, the slightly better balanced Anchor won the day for me. Fazit. Excellent - although maybe not for breakfast.

355ml bottle. A little chocolate in the nose but mostly bitter savoury coffee and bread. Flavour is pretty much just coffee. It’s bitter and dark and there’s a nice roasted note that leads into an almost ash finish. My main complaint is that you can really taste the alcohol, with plenty of brandy notes in there. For me, it really clashes with the oat notes. It means that whilst the foreground is nice and smooth, the background is a little chaotic. This beer is perfectly pleasant, just not spectacular for my tastes. I guess the description does say I have to love coffee, and I don’t really like coffee at all, so...
