A smooth as silk "white" oatmeal stout brewed with an aromatic blend of British malts, creamy oats, cocoa nibs, vanilla and coffee. It pours white as day with a frothy creamy head that will leave your senses confused. Don’t let your eyes deceive you and let the flavor speak for itself.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, nutty medium roast coffee, vanilla, cream, toasted oats, biscuit dough, light pepper, and herbal/grassy/roasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of cocoa, coffee, vanilla, bready malts, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, nutty medium roast coffee, vanilla, cream, toasted oats, biscuit dough, light pepper, and herbal/grassy/roasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/grassy/spicy bitterness and roasted coffee bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, nutty medium roast coffee, vanilla, cream, toasted oats, biscuit dough, light pepper, and herbal/grassy/roasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of cocoa, coffee, vanilla, bready malts, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no acrid/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roast bitterness. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is an awesome white stout! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of cocoa, coffee, vanilla, bready malts, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very rich balanced flavors of cocoa, coffee, vanilla, and bready oats/malts; with nice balancing earthy hops. A really enjoyable offering, and amazing style example. Definitely the best I have had yet, legitimately feels like a stout.

Great flavor, no idea the date on this although it says drink fresh. Tons of vanilla, white chocolate, espresso. Silky smooth.

12 oz can. Pours a cloudy gold color with an off-white head and great retention. Decent lacing. Sweet cocoa aroma. Taste follows the nose. Sweet cocoa up front followed by some vanilla extract and a hint of coffee finish. Low carbonation. Good dessert beer!

Not sure what was up with Latham Beverage but there were some random ass brews and I was happy to scoop them including this oddball. Can at home for little Netflix. Muted orange pour. Nose is lovely coffee milk (my RI brethren know what I’m talking about. Tastes of vanilla, oats, coffee syrup, light herbal hops. Semi sweet interesting.

Draft. Cocoa, coffee, malt, and straw aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with small head. Moderately sweet light coffee, chocolate malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body. Tasty - lots of chocolate.
