Can from total wine NC. Pour is big and black, looks large and in charge. Foam is big tan head that fades rapidly to nothing. Nose is volatile damp burned campfire wood. First taste surprizingly lands some co2 cutting my tongue. My palate likes that for a stronger stout. A thicker more viscous stout that has an alky impact yet comes across a little more civilix]zed and a little less cloying than most higher alky sweet stouts. Interesting brew. Maybe cause I was working out in the hot sun, IDK. Odd bready aftertaste on some swigs. Gets on my nerves a little bit near the finish. There, you have it.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a pitch black color with a small tan head and fair retention. No lacing. Very faint molasses aroma. The flavor is very dark roasted malt, almost charred, with a mild bitter finish. Thin mouthfeel and body. This is closer to a Schwarzbier than an oatmeal stout, IMHO. Not sweet. Low carbonation. Clean, simple profile. I like the flavor, but the body is a bit lifeless.

Very dark brown coloured body with a thick, five centimetre tall rich lighter brown head that somehow fades to nothing at all, after a few seconds. Aroma of very deep roasted malts, chocolate, light coffee, vanilla, earth, caramelised sugars and a big dose of chocolate here at the tail end. Medium-bodied; Strong and rich malt note shows first with the oatmeal and very deeply toasted, perhaps burnt grainy notes with some vanilla here and coffee bitterness with a light bit of icing sugar at the finish with a good deal of bitterness from the grain here, too. Aftertaste is pretty pungent, quite bitter and showing a lot of deeply bittered notes, mainly from the coffee and chocolate but the rustic nuts and oatmeal add to the roasted malts in a nice way. Overall, a very nice, super rich, earthy and pugnent stout that hits nicely, even in the warmer weather - great to sample and well worth trying to find if you are in the beaches of South Carolina at Christmas or in the summertime anywhere! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Lowe's Foods in Pawley's Island, South Carolina on 01-January-2022 for US$10,99/six pack, canned on 15-October-2021 and sampled in my hotel room here in Patuxent River, Maryland on 10-May-2022.

12 oz. can. Pours black, with a big, brown head. The nose is quality coffee, vanilla, cacao, light rum, and butterscotch. Sweet and malty, with a good, light, roasty bitterness. Smooth and thoroughly enjoyable.
