500ml bottle from the lcbo. Black pour, creamy beige head. Roasty Aroma, sweet, roasty malts, cocoa power and some coffee, hint of milk chocolate. Nice mouth feel, creamy, and a good carb. Finish is slightly sweet, roasty, and gives that great satisfying, bitter, creamy, roasty flavour agold oatmeal stout gives off. Medium bitterness, roasty, and slightly hoppy, with some hints of pine.

Deep black with a thick beige head. The aroma is toasted oats and chocolate paste. Light bodied and roasty, the taste is chocolate paste and a touch of sharp licorice. Nice stuff. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This oatmeal stout poured a deep black colour with a huge brown head. Medium lacing. Scents include smoked plastic, cocoa and coffee. First swig was smooth with a lightly creamy mouthfeel. Flavours of black coffee, Melloids cough drops and burnt toast. Finish is burnt as hell and delicious. Lightly lingering smoke flavour.

After having their first two brews as bad experience, I really hope this one will not be the same (Armchair and Pale Ale had bad, weird hops). Pours a real dark brown, almost black colour with very little dark ruby highlights. Beautiful frothy-creamy mocha head, long lasting with good lacing. Aromas of roasted malts, with notes of coffee, chocolate malts and dark fruits. Same for the taste, but milder with hints of vanilla (the smoothness of the oat) to balance things out. An easier to drink Oatmeal Stout and what a change from the other two brews I had from this brewery. There is hope.
