Some cans at home watching bit of snow noir. Dark pour and lovely head. Nose is ash and chocolate. Tastes of chocolate, char, smoky, earth, raspberry, molasses. Medium to heavy bodied. Not sweet.

16 oz. Can. No date coding. Aroma is soft coffee in mild chocolate. The flavor is a reflection. Mouth feel is slightly chewy. Overall, a standard straight forward oatmeal stout.

A dark brown stout with a thin lacing mocha head. In aroma, nice bitter chocolate with coffee grind, light vanilla, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with light vanilla notes, light grassy hops, pleasant. On tap at brewpub.

On tap at Hop n Moose.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color. A one finger white to off white foamy head dissipated lightly. Slight amount of rimmed foamy lacing is left in rings.
The smell had a sweet to roasty coffee and cocoa bean arranging itself in between some sweet grainy oatmeal flavors.
The taste was a nice balance between the sweet and the roasty portions of the previously mentioned flavors. Lingering roasty / sweet aftertaste. Wet sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. Pretty good sessionable feel to it. Carbonation felt good.
Overall, while the state of Vermont isn’t exactly known for the best stouts in the USA, Hop n Moose makes that push to put up a really nice stout to possibly turn heads in Vermont’s direction. I know I would definitely have this again.
