Cet Oatmeal Stout sur des arômes francs est globalement appréciable même s'il reste très classique. Il lui manque tout de même le petit plus d'âme qui lui aurait permis de complètement me satisfaire. Le visuel est sur un brun foncé quasi noir avec une mousse brune nappant juste la surface. Le nez est sur le chocolat, la noisette, avec un léger café et brulé. En bouche, Le café est un peu plus présent. L'intensité est bonne dès l'attaque avec des arômes francs, mais sans grandes nuances. L'équilibre malt/houblon/sucre/alcool est bon, lui permettant de lui donner un peu de caractère, tout en conservant une certaine légèreté. La corpulence est également satisfaisante. Le final est toutefois moins intense, bien que long. Un bon stout.

On tap (keg) at the Black Isle bar, Inverness, Monday 26th September 2022, in the company of Nick and Anna. Shark eye black with a medium light beige head. Plenty of roasted malts on the nose, perhaps a little spent coffee grinds also. Smooth moutheel, a little creamy, chocolate, hints of liquorice and a little dark fruit, super easy drinking and a solid stout.

Smell-weak to medium, malt, roast, coffee. Foam-thin, roast, malt, weak caramel, sugar, sweetness, then roast and bitter tones. Head is medium-sized, medium-dark brown color. Appearance- somewhat simple can, a bit to bonus side, beer itself dark brown color, medium carbonated. From- stout glass Price - 2,99 euros Taste- malty, weak sweetness, some roast, caramel, coffee, dark chocolate... then roast starts to creep up a bit. A fine beer, easy drinking, malty, bit roasty.

13 June 2020. At De Kelk, Bruges. Shared with the lovely Anke! Hazy black with an unstable, small, frothy, beige head; lots of lacing. Aroma of toast, brown bread, prune, earth, walnut, cold coffee, chocolate chips. Taste has sweetish dark chocolate, brown bread, vague dark fruits underneath, some dark toffee too. Bitter toast & nuts in the middle and well into the dry, earthy hoppy finish, more brown bread & coffee returning. Medium body, thin creamy texture, soft carbonation. Good Stout with a very 'dark' character, but a thin all in all.
