Everything a stout dreams to be. Thick, creamy, smooth, toasty, rich, chocolatey. Brewed with an excessive amount of oats, and practically every dark malt obtainable, this stout may not clock in as high as other imperial stouts but can definitely fight above its weight class.

650mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of roasted malt, dark dry cocoa, and some earthy coffee. Flavour is rich, with lots of hearty oats, moderate roast, some cocoa, and light earthiness. Roasty, earthy and hearty. Super thick, almost sludgy palate. Very tasty, but that palate is a bit too sludgy.

On tap at the brewery. Full body. Medium bitterness. Touch of roast, sweet and rich. This is quite delicious. A lot of heft for only 7.5%. Impressive.

Poured chilled it has a soft deep brown foam and a very dark brown body. The aroma is soft milk chocolate, dark barley notes and just the right level of molasses. Flavour is sweet oatmeal with some slightly earthy notes, vague motor oil, soft farm dirt hints. Full mouthfeel but kind of neither here nor there - too rough to be smooth and too smooth to be rough. Still the alcohol is very well hidden, and it's a good chewy dark beer with all homegrown ingredients.
