On tap at Real, Wild & Woody Beer Festival, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out moderate lacto, light citrus and some light tartness. Flavour is similar, with very fresh citric tartness and light lacto. Fresh and wonderfully tart. Really good.

The beer is coffee black. Small khaki head. Some coffee-ish roast, mild cola, nice dose of cocoa. Not of sweetness in the aroma. Coffee finish. Fairly simple roasted malt character. Some vanilla-y bourbon flavor and mild to moderate oak. Mild caramel. Medium dry in the taste. Fairly light body for 10% abv. Mild ashy roast note. The bourbon shows up in the taste, but it’s fairly mild, still rather nice though. Mouthfeel is pretty light. The beer could definitely use some more heft. Nice work, overall.

32oz growler pours with a deep dark body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up some rich coffee, an earthy coffee note and then deeply roasted coffee towards the end of the draw and a faint sense of nuttiness. The taste delivers smooth coffee notes that quickly ramp up into dark roasted malts and some burnt maltiness. There are snippets of sweetness here and there as the roastiness ratchets up another notch or two. Solid coffee brew.

32oz growler pours with a clear copper body that has an amber hue and supports a thin light tan head. The aroma offers up malt sweetened grapefruit, citrus gummy bears and a thin herbal minty sensation. The taste is interesting and growing on me. It has mint, soft grapefruit, spicy hops and then cracker like breadiness. So it has an intriguing blend of bitter hops as the mint plays a bit oddly against the citrus. The bready cracker like notes are just strong enough to create a distraction from the mildly hoppy experience. This is a fun beer with a modest hop bitterness and deeper into the growler the cracker sensation starts to work for me a bit.

Pours clear mahogany, small tan head, dissipates away pretty well, some lacing. Aroma is light, roast. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, some coffee, surprisingly not pronounced, roasted malts, dark breads, a bit of ashtray, hints of coke. Lightish body for style, but a smooth mouthfeel. Pleasant enough, but not really meeting expectations for a coffee oatmeal stout.

Pours clear reddish mahogany, small tan head, dissipates fairly slowly, nice residual creamy ring and solid lacing. Aroma is quite roasty, burned malts, ashtray. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter, burned, hints of rubber and lactose, perhaps chocolate but not a major player here, coffee grounds. Medium light body. Not bad for style.

Pours clear golden orange, medium off-white head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is light, hints of grain and grass. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter, a bit nutty, I guess the wild rice, some perfume and floral notes, hints of citrus. Body is a bit more substantial than expected for style. Mouthfeel is silky.
