With the creamy-smooth mouthfeel of oats and the crackle of roast barley, this winter offering invokes grandma’s kitchen, toasty and safe from winter blasts. We included a dash of vanilla, a taste that’s ever-present in baking, hovering in the background.
A luscious, silky-smooth stout. Rich, thick, fragrant and sweeter than not.

Can from the lcbo. Black pour, medium mocha head. Nice roast, oatmeal adds a beautiful mouth feel, and a soft carb. Coffee notes, light cocoa, can't find the vanilla thought.

Pours a real dark brown with hardly any copper highlights. The head is warm, mocha-coloured with very good retention, leaving some nice lacing. The aromas are kind of off, as hops are the most dominant. Grassy, minty over the roasted malt base. These hops do carry on into the taste, and really cover the vanilla, oatmeal smoothness. Yeah, no mention of being overhopped in the description, but it is. Not bad, but was expecting more richness from the title. Alright with this, but should mention somewhere the hops are stronger in this style.

This stout poured a deep black colour with a creamy, brown head. Minimal lacing. Scents include coffee, cocoa, vanilla and a little smoke. First swig was creamy and delicious with flavours of smoke, light coffee, light vanilla and a hint of cocoa. Finish is smokey and rich with burnt malt flavours lingering.
