In the can @ home, distributed to Colorado for CBC. Pours a deep brown appearance with a big, fluffy dark brown head. Green coffee beans, dark chocolate, heavy earth, and vanilla in the nose. Somewhat creamy, but heavy mouth feel. Quite roasty and burnt coffee. Fairly bitter. Kind of tasty, but not one of my favorites for for the style.

Can - black pour with a tan head - nose has a lovely, rich espresso character, without being overly acidic - the same can be said of the flavor - creamy texture, medium to full body - rich, roasty espresso flavor, smokiness, and bitter black malt, without any excessive acidity or char - well done coffee.stout.

Taste is bitter, malty and tiny fruity with roasted malts, crispbread, espresso coffee, soil, hay, burnt wood, ash, bitter chocolate, oatmeal cookies, red currants and burnt cookies.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance is a jet black body with a one and a half finger off-white/tan head with a fairly thick off-white/tan foamy lacing.
The smell has some dark roasted coffee with some espresso.
The taste is roasty yet also bitter coffee flavors coming through fairly strong, milk chocolate amplifying the flavor. She has a roasty coffee aftertaste and dry espresso finish.
The palate is about a medium, comes across semi-sessionable, and has a carbonation which is pretty smooth yet good for the style and to me.
Overall, this is a good American Stout. Good job Oakshire, I’d have this one again.

Pours pitch black but thin...huge creamy espresso / creamy head. The nose is 100% coffee just coffee on and on and on.Pretty interesting. Wish there was more ABV but it’s silky, creamy and velvety with a huge burst of non-acidic coffee. really great stuff.

12 oz. can. Pitch black appearance with lasting head. Nose is roasted malt, light espresso bean and sugar. Flavor is show cases a solid amount of roasted coffee bean first, followed by bitter chocolate, light touches of ash and sweet caramel or molasses notes in the finish. The body has a nice chewy feel from the flaked oats the brewer uses. Carbonation provides a slight creamy texture. Nice level of flavor in such a low ABV stout. If you are looking for a session stout this is a nice option.

22oz Bottle Black/Dark brown with a small tan head. Lots of sweet roasted malts and coffee. Smooth palate and soft carbonation. Very nice espresso stout

22oz bottle thanks to ditmier Pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is fresh roast coffee vanilla chocolate and some hop notes. Taste is as the nose with lots of coffee and a nice sweetness. A little thin but we have to remember this isn’t a imperial stout.

Bottle. Pours very dark brown with tan head. Nose and taste of espresso, roast chocolate stout, toasted black malt, green pepper and vanilla. Medium body.
