Can 473ml (Beer Rep, no BB-date) Opaque colour, medium-sized brownish head. Toasted, a bit ashy aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Toastyness, ash, coffee, dark chocolate. Not too bad for its ABV.

Au premier nez, on y perçoit des accents de chocolat noir et de café. Accents de torréfaction assez simples avec petites notes de cacao en poudre. Olfactif pas très complexe mais présent. De couleur noire, opaque, avec une mousse brune assez effervescente et d’épaisseur moyenne dont la tenue baisse assez rapidement. Des notes de torréfaction en attaque, une texture assez mince. Fais plus penser à un porter qu’a une stout. L’amertume est assez prenante en arrière bouche. On sent les houblons herbacés qui se combinent à l’amertume de torréfaction pour donner une très longue finale. Le houblonnage est intéressant et se marie bien aux notes de torréfaction. Reste que ce n’est pas une bière complexe. Pas extraordinaire mais ça se boit quand même bien.

Draught @ The Manx, Ottawa. Pours cloudy very dark brown with small tan head. Clear aroma of roast, with malty and estery notes. Bitterish, roasty flavour with malty and estery notes and touches of hops and coffee. Roasty and estery aftertaste. Easily drinkable and quite enjoyable. Decent.

Growler: Poured a black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head. Aroma of dry bitter roasted malt notes with nice underlying bitter coffee notes. Taste is an easy drinking mix of roasted malt with some bitter coffee notes with light black chocolate. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable with nice drinkability factor.

On tap at the Ottawa Beerfest. Darkness 5.6% oatmeal stout 1 ticket for a plastic glass. Pitch black with a thick creamy beige head. Big toasty aroma , chocolate and light coffee. Medium bodied, creamy, toasted oats, a hint of campfire smoke. Much closer to a classic oatmeal stout than Perth Brewing’s. Nice.

Very nice stout. Smells like robust roast malt, coffee and some nut. Pours black with pretty good head considering this is on cask. Medium bitter finish, full palate. Nice. Cask at pub Italia.
