Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Super over carbonated, took a while to pour in the glass. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 2-3 finger fairly dense and rocky khaki head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts the whole glass. Thick soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, nuttiness, cake batter, toasted dark/brown bread, light herbal, dark fruit, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. A bit fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, vanilla, chocolate, cake, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, nuttiness, cake batter, toasted dark/brown bread, light herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, nuttiness, cake batter, toasted dark/brown bread, light herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, vanilla, chocolate, cake, and light earthy hops flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and zero cloying/acrid/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 5.8%. Overall this is a delicious flavored oatmeal milk stout. All around nice dark/roast/bready malts, vanilla, chocolate, cake, and light earthy hops flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. No problem with the carbonation, after letting it dissipate in the glass. No off flavors or noticeable infection. Nicely rich for the modest ABV; with great balance of oatmeal milk stout and vanilla/chocolate/cake flavorings. A very enjoyable offering.

Draft. A- Red velvet cake, sweet, cupcakes, vanilla frosting. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Cupcakes, frosting, cocoa, red velvet. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, rich finish. O- Whoa, this beer smells like a liquid red velvet cake loaded with cream cheese frosting. Smells amazing. Thankfully though the taste wasn’t that sweet. It did pick up the cake taste but it was only semi sweet and made it a great dessert beer.
