This past September in the pre-Witchstock chaos, we wrangled the guys from Cloudwater to brew a session stout with us. Our aim was simple, to make a smooth stout with a moderate ABV that was decidedly more toffee-like than roasty. The result is a fantastically balanced beer with foundations of caramelized malts and chocolate, that we split into two variants: OG, and with coffee.
What it smells like, what it tastes like: Flavours and aromas of strawberry, caramel and milk chocolate are tempered by light roasty notes and a subtle bitterness.

Bottle: Poured a light black color ale with a large brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light roasted malt notes with some light bitter chocolate notes. Taste is a mix of smooth black chocolate notes with some light dry bitter chocolate malt notes. Body is light with strong carbonation. Enjoyable but a bit thin overall.

Tasting at Oakes' Manor
Dark brown colour. Some cardboard and puke in the aroma. Dry, some roast, some caramel, rather boring.

Dark malts and some chocolate. Jet brown with a small beige head. Sweet molasses and a decent long cocoa finish. Decent.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out medium toasted malt, with a touch of cocoa. Flavour is pretty light, with dry cocoa, toasted malt, and a touch of earthiness. Very light-bodied, but the flavours are very balanced and pleasant. Very good.

Medium brown body with a thin head. This has a fairly fudgey aroma. Soft body, light. Some fudgey stuff, maybe nutty. Basic old school stout, without much character and nuance.
