Poured from 375mL bottle (but the label claims it's 750mL - an obvious typo). Dark brown with small beige head. A bit of Oreo-like chocolate, mild vanilla and lactose. Not a ton of depth, but it's a decent beer and doesn't taste like a cheap knock off Oreo chocolate like the Superflux Oreo beer (Cookies & Cream) was... It's fine.

375ml (thx, Frank S.!) @ Ryan's shared with Farees. Appearance: dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: dark fruits, coffee, vanilla. Taste: along the same lines, quite sweet, coffee and vanilla with Oreo. Overall: not bad.

(750ml bottle from the BG18e brewpub) Pours black with a fluffy pale cream head that fades slowly leaving lace. Aroma is packed with Oreo cookies, no doubt about that, with undertones of slightly acidic roast and boosted cacao/vanilla profiles, but definitely conveys the adjunct well. Flavour is fairly sweet (for style) up front with dark chocolate, vanilla and lactose over dark burnt sugar malts, but the explicit Oreo kicks in hard mid-palate and takes over into the finish, which is drying and has some nice cacao bitterness and moderate roast/black coffee to help with the drying. Long Oreo-laden aftertaste. Medium-plus very creamy body with nice smooth low carb to boot, and no sign of the ABV. Excellent pastry given that the adjuncts are huge and dessert like but the whole package is highly drinkable.
