Dark brown pour, not totally black. Small beige head. Sweet, very roasty aroma. Subtle notes of vanilla and coffee, with some earthy hops. Good carb, solid mouth feel. The finish is incredibly roasty and satisfying. Some nuttiness, and coffee, with a great lingering roastiness and a medium bitterness. A great solid stout.

A copper brown stout with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, nice chocolate malt with dark fruits, light mineral notes, pleasant. In mouth, a nice chocolate malt with powdery mouthfeel, light mineral notes, pleasant. On tap at Red Lion

This stout poured a deep black colour with a creamy, light brown head. Nice lacing. Scents include sweet molasses, cocoa and cereal. First swig was a little sweet with flavours of smoke, molasses and a light perfume flavour. Finish is nice and burnt with smokey flavour lingering.

Pours a dark brown colour with lots of amber highlights. The head is huge, warm beige, long lasting with creamy lace. Roasted malt aromas with cocoa powder and molasses. After a while, apples notes come out as well. The taste shows a little chocolate with the roasty malts lingering. Decent hops create a nice dryness. Still, lots of apples in here. Not the Oatmeal Stouts I am use to.

Can from the LCBO. Deep mahogany under a one finger lingering tan head. Nose is coffee, molasses, cocoa, roast, with a touch of wood and vanilla. Light+ sweet molasses with a similar dark chocolate bitterness. Mouth is smooth and silky with soft carbonation. Balanced and not too sweet. 7/4/7-/3+/14

Draft - Sweet dark roast with a light touch of coffee. Dirty brown with a decent brown head. Medium roast, light coffee and some dark fruit. Pretty mellow for an oatmeal, but very drinkable.
