Nothing fancy for aromas with resin hops and some malt, but not bad. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, hops taste fresher. Add in some citrus and a bit of weed. Good body and carbonation. Nice finish. Decent beer.

Single can from HyVee, Ankeny. Pleasant chocolate and chocolate malt smell upon pouring. Firm tan head over black body. Chocolate smell is even stronger when I bring the glass to my nose. Taste keeps up the chocolate. The Oreo filling component is more present as a sugary note than a vanilla creme, but it's not overdone. High taste marks for being a lovely chocolate stout with just a note of stout roast malt bitterness. Creamy character stays with me through the can.

Single can from HyVee, Ankeny. Brassy gold color showing just a bit of haze, under a thick foamy head. A nose of West Coast hop, but not very strong. Leading to a mildly bitter beer smell. Taste is bright and a bit piney, with a note of citrus hop. Label claims 46 IBU, and they're pretty well used here. Lightly bready malt in the background. More of an American IPA with lighter malts.

Love Oreo’s. Just not in beer! This is my 3rd different “Oreo” beer and I just do not taste any Oreo in any of them.
