Near black colour. Big up front oatmeal aroma with nuts and hints of chocolate and coffee. Incredibly appetizing. Starts off roasty, then fades to a great milk chocolate character - very smooth, sweet and pure. There is a light nuttiness in the finish for variety. Creamy, full mouthfeel. Satisfying light stout with all the elements you want in a traditional oatmeal stout.

Very slightly hazy gold. The aroma is grapefruity and woody but not overly assertive. Pale malts and earth on the palate. Chewy, full-expressed bitterness. The same old same old, but slightly different.

Light chestnut colour. Nutty, cocoa-like aroma. Fairly sweet flavour with hazelnuts and vanilla. Sweet, thick icing sugar body with nut skins. A bit of astringency in the back. Not mailed in boring, but I didn’t go for what they were going for.

[At BJ’s in Boulder, Colorado] A pitch black beer with a fine chocolate brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. The flavor contains notes of alcohol, coffee, and chocolate, leading to a dry woody end. The barrelaged version is slightly better than the normal version.

[Draft at BJ’s in Boulder Colorado] A hazy dark orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is very flowery and hoppy from extensive use of aroma hops. The flavor is lovely with notes of hops, oil, and grass, leading to a dry end where the mouthwater just dries out.

[Draft at BJ’s in Boulder Colorado] A clear amber beer with a small dense white head - the head collapses, but leaves curtains on the glass. The aroma is flowery and hoppy combined with notes of caramel. The flavor is lovely hoppy with notes of hopsoils, grass, and caramel as well as hints of nuts. I hope to come back for this.
