A beer with a complexity which comes from the use of six different varieties is layered to give notes of chocolate, coffee and general roasted goodness they continue. On and on. And on. There’s a healthy addition of oatmeal that lends the beer a full bodied experience along with a velvet like texture which works in harmony with a beer of this calibre.

375ml can from a Mosman liquor store. Poured a murky almost black colour. The aroma is roasty, caramel. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, somewhat rich, roasty, earthy, light ashtray, liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

A nice stout with a solid body. Notes of coffee, toast, licorice and - of course - oats. The licorice makes the taste a little sweet for my liking.

way too light brown color. Very light brown head. Light roastiness. Very smooth. Excellent oatmeal, roasted malt and chocolate character. Super smooth because it’s on nitro (but the taproom doesn’t tell you)

Can. Name is just the Omen but ABV matches. Black with a tan head. Aroma of sweet mocha, licorice , molasses. Medium bodied. Firmer roast and bitterness than suggested by the aroma. Solid drop.

Pint on tap at Club Rivers, Riverwood. Black beer with a cream-coloured head. Looks like a picture. Chocolate nose. Smooth texture. Sweet cocoa taste and finish. Nice stout, served too cold of course. Let it warm a little gets even better.
