12 ounce bottle. Oh, this pours so luxuriously yielding a dense black color with a huge rocky tan head. Nice clinging lace. Rich cocoa malt nose. Bittersweet roasted malt flavor has notes of tobacco, roasted malt, oats and spicy hops. Reminiscent of charred wood in mid taste. Finish is chewy with notes of cocoa and dark roasted coffee. Very smooth and drinkable.

355ml bottle at home, forget where from. Pours black, 1cm tan head that is hanging around really well, looks lovely. Aromas are coffee and oatmeal, burnt toast, dark chocolate. Taste brings a sweet prune note to the coffee and chocolate, more oats, light lingering roasted bitterness. Enjoyed this.

Keg at Rogue, PDX, 12/11/14. Last beer in OR on this trip! Dark mahogany brown with a decent light tan covering that retains well. Nose is roast malt, toffee, light cocoa, grain, vanilla. Taste comprises chocolate, light roast, light metallic notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light roast in a semi drying close with hoppy backnotes. Ok stout but really struggling to see why this beer carries a score of 3.86 !!!

Dry oatmeal stout with yellowish beige head and very dark brown, almost black colour. Strong coffee-like roasted malts in the nose, raisins, bitter chocolate, leather, tonic water, bayleaf... Taste roasted bitter from beginning to end, very full, creamy and oily mouthfeel, chocolate, dried plums, with a strong citrussy hop bitterness coming up in the end - too strong for this style, if you ask me. Otherwise very interesting, though.

Nice very dark brown body with modest but solid head. Aroma is heavy on the hoppiness, I’d prefer some more barley to shine through to remind me it’s a stout. Flavour is strong on the hoppiness with a hint of chocolate, some coffee. But those hops, they drown a lot of the nuance out. This was sampled at room temperature, perhaps with some chillin’ there would be less illin’.

I poured this into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a decent looking black color with a nice looking off white foamy three finger head. The lacing is fairly thick and sticks finely to the glass.
The smell was semi-roasty and coffee-like but as it warmed there was some oatmeal like features.
The taste was mainly roasty but had a decent sweetness running about it. The aftertaste did end up having a decent light chocolate about it. The finish was super dry.
On the palate, it sat about a light to medium in body and had a decent sessionability about it.
Overall, for the most part, this is a decent oatmeal stout worthy of having again.

At a tasting, thanks zvikar, small creamy bubbly head, very dark brown almost black colour, aroma of highly roasted coffee, charred wood and some soy, flavour of coffee, dirt and dark chocolate, mellow pleasant bitterness and light sweetness. Nice and enjoyable.
