12oz can pours with a murky brown to deep copper body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up a blend of pine hops, malts and just a bit of molasses. The taste delivers a fairly smooth blend of bitter almost sappy pine hops and thick sweet malts. There's plenty of hoppiness keeping the sweet malts in check. Into the finish the malts become a little more slick nectar sweet like and play well with lingering pine hop bitterness and an under welling of booze. 14%? Really? That's hidden very well. Seems like maybe 10 or 11% tops. Nice full flavor sipper.

12 oz can bought in St Pete, FL. Pours a clear dark amber color with a small tight beige head and good retention. Spotty lacing. Not much aroma at all. Light caramel malt base on an otherwise generic beer with a short finish. Medium body. Nothing to dislike. Smooth,semi-flat and not bitter.

Coffee, and roasted oats up front like you spilled your porridge in the campfire. Black pour - a little oily but not terribly so. Bitter finish with some caramel. A touch of leather. Can.

This beer is black, I mean wow it's really dark/opaque. Among the darkest I've seen. Short lived head though. Nose features coffee first, mocha chocolate, not much in the way of roasted malt,it's a lighter toffee note. Flavor features a tad more roast but I appreciate the restrained approach with that, the smooth almost creamy malt backbone - probably from the oatmeal - supports a mild coffee flavor. Like many coffee stouts, the beer feels a tad thinned out, lacking the fuller body you might want, but it seems to work here, and at 5%, this is a nice dry and smooth oatmeal stout. The longer I sip on it, the more the coffee flavors come to the fore, and it drinks much like an iced coffee, and that's in a good way. Good job Swamp Head.
