Our award-winning stout is rich and malty with hints of chocolate and coffee. It’s what espresso would be if it had the gumption to be beer. Makes a great dessert...or meal.

Pours deep dark with brown edges and thin tan head. The aroma is light with smooth dark roastiness and some burnt malts too. The taste starts with a pleasing smoothness bringing in burnt malts and mild roastiness. It ends with a very tasty roasted malt to burnt malt sensation and then rounded out with some dry malt astringency. Nice stuff.

Pours black with brownish head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee beans. Taste is roasted malts, strong presence of coffee. The overall coffee taste is very dry that is similar to dry cofee/espresso beans. Light bitter finish. Very drinkable, rich in taste.

Medium, dark-beige head over black beer with a reddish shine. Oatmeal clearly in the nose, with non-fermentable sugars as lactose, and milk chocolate, only slightly burnt notes. Cigarette ash, still quite some restsugars or non-fermentables in the main taste; ending burnt-bitterish. Very slick - oatmeal slick? - with a wry aftertaste, drying out. Nice stout, really. Thanks to Dirk & Leen for sharing, and to Eugene, of course.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of kramer17801. Pours an opaque black with a small, light brown head. Aroma of vanilla and burned malts. Medium body with rather burned malt accents. Dry, burned, malty bitter finish. A solid and classic Stout. 250308

Bottled. A pitch black beer with an oily consistence in the glass and no head. The aroma is sweet and very roasted, but also with notes of hop soup. The flavor has strong notes of roasted malt and dark bitter chocolate as well as some hops, that tickles the tongue, leading to a dry roasted and bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

A wonderful dark brown head that is thick as all hell and like that one beer that advertised that you can stick a pencil in it, I am sure that a pencil would stand in this beer. Dark as all night of course and it smells like a wonderful candy shop in the early morning when everything is being taken out of the oven. The beer is thick as anything of course. Alcohol taste is contained under the panoply of flavor. Hits you in the face with the coffee and the chocolate. Not quite sweet, but certainly not bitter. Rich and big if anything. Thoroughly drinkable.

Yet another beer I’ve had a bunch of times and neglected to rate until now - this has quickly become one of my favorite oatmeal stouts - nearly black pour with an impressive, frothy tan head - very burnt, roasty, nearly woody aroma, with background notes of bakers chocolate, tobacco and coffee - fairly bitter and roasty, with dry cocoa flavors - a bit of milk/cream sweetness and some oats balance the bitterness, and give it a silky mouthfeel - finishes with espresso and tobacco notes, and subtle blueberry - rich and complex.

A viscous black pour produces a large, creamy long-lingering, tight head of light brown. Classic appearance. The aroma has great depth with malt variety. Plenty of roast and caramel malt aromas here. The lightly bitter, yet rich and smooth brew is superbly balanced corner to corner. Excellent Stout.

12 oz bottle. Poured into small goblet glass. Pours with absolutely no head and a slight brown lacing. Opague black color, I mean motor oil with some brown spit in it. Aroma is present, medium stout sweetness, charred coffee. Nicely well attenuated body. None of that cloying sweetness, nice lighter bodied stout. Never would have guessed this was 7% alcohol. Goes down easy with a slight pinch of bitterness that quickly retreats into a slightly oatmeal and chocolate-y aftertaste.
