This complex oatmeal porter is is brewed with judicious amounts of Crystal and Munich malts for a dark, robust, and chewy experience. As black as coal that fueled locomotives for generations. Go ahead and jump on the night train. Enjoy!

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours almost black with less than half a finger of nut brown head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate with a little dark fruit and some tart cherry skin. A little red wine in there also. Taste is light bitter. Coffee and dark chocolate with a little tart red wine. Full bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Lively carbonation and a pretty long finish. Overall, pretty good. Something i would gladly drink again.

Rich deep brown coloured body with a thin, one centimetre tall tan head and some nice coffee coloured highlights at the bottom. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, earth, coffee, chocolate and a ton of cherry and deep fruit smells - this one is very nice and rich. Medium to Full-bodied; Very nice rich chocolate and roasted malt flavours dominate, with a good earthy and caramel flavoured finish. Aftertaste is quite complex with coffee, chocolate, pit fruits, cherries and some peat coming through. Overall, a very nice porter - perhaps one of the best ones I’ve had recently, with good flavours throughout, a nice body and a good complexity. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Three Cellars in Franklin, Wisconsin on 05-September-2012 for US$1.89 sampled at home in Washington on 19-November-2012.

12 ounce bottle from Badger in Beloit. Pours a dark clear reddish color with a medium creamy brown head. Decent head retention. Aroma of big chocolate notes, faint roast and hops. The taste is bitter hops, roasted malts and chocolate. Medium bodied.

Heavily roasted, too much really. Aroma of a dry stout with grain. Flavor is bitter, with grain, but a very light tartness that works. High abv for a porter, but it is not present in the aroma or flavor. Good, thick palate.

Pretty much a stout here, and a darn good one at that - black pour, soapy tan head - nose of bittersweet chocolate, vanilla, smoke, roast, wood - creamy and full-bodied - moderate sweetness tempered by bitterness from the black malt, as well as mild acidity - intense coffee/ roast flavors - bakers chocolate - a bit of anise and blueberry - lingering bitter finish - it’s quite good

12 oz. loose bottle, $1.50 @ Woodman’s. A nice malty smell when opened and poured. Sweet aroma with slight burn of coffee malt. Dark body with faint red highlights under a light tan head. Taste is not quite up to the aroma, but it’s good. Some roast malt bitterness, but a warming thread of alcohol. I can find a nice hop bitterness once the roast malt goes past me. Right kind of carbonation to let bubble bring the hops over the tongue to the back palate. Maybe too much coffee for my taste, but everything else was just fine.

Sample at Bodega Brew Pub in La Crosse. This brew is brown with garnet highlights and a medium tan head that dissipates steadily. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and dark fruit. Medium body with flavors of coffee, toasted malt and black cherry. The finish is roasty with a short chocolatey malt aftertaste. Decent Porter overall.

12 oz bottle courtesy of alagnak. Pour is brown black with a 1/2 inch tan head. Aroma of grain rye black bread maltiness. Touch of cream milkiness followed by roasted office coffee. There is some grassy tobacco in there too. Taste is flat off coffee and creamer. Mildly roasty, weird sweet milky sweet. Not all that much of my sort of thing. Palate is medium, above average carbonation. Aftertaste is the flat coffee - with some sweetness and the tobacco. Pretty dull overall. I have really enjoyed all of these O’so Beers Chris, thanks.
