    Yeah boy this one pours out black gold. The aroma is al coffee,malt,grains and chocolate. The mouthfeel is thick with a note of cold bitter coffee. The taste hits my tongue hard on the front from the abv but it's only 6.5. The after taste is burnt malt with coffee notes. Good brew.

    Bottle provided at SL by Bruce, perhaps. The pour was dark brown-black, some head but small for the style. The aroma was chocolate and bubblegum. The flavor followed, chocolate, bubblegum, roasty bitter, acidity sourness in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel was acidic and thin. A below average stout, imo, not enough airy mouthfeel from the oatmeal, not enough dryness, too sour.

    I got this a while ago (as a single) sampled with another single of their Lobster Ale. I remember liking this one better, but both were good. As far as stouts go, this may be on the lighter and thinner side....especially for ABV% I'm guessing around 5%ish. I saw this while previewing the beer list of Total Wine & More (which I will get to shop for the first time this weekend). Reminded me that I need to review this and to buy again for a 2nd sample/update.

    This was the first stout I had adventured to have in over 20 years, having been the macro fan that I was. Taste of chocolate and coffee - really nice I could not detect the alcohol. I'm hearing there are better and I'm looking forward to them, but for right now I thought this one was great.

    oured a deep black with huge tan head that looks like you could stand on. The aroma was of malt with hints of carmel and coffee. It was sweet but not too sweet. It went well with spicy gumbo. The sweetness of the beer cut the heat of the gumbo

    Samuel Smith holds the bar for Oatmeal Stout. Do it very hard to find anothrr to measure up. This one has the nice heavily dark body with a brown head what has a very nice, long lasting head. The taste though has too much of a coffee-taste with bittering that comes from that flavor.

    I have a early flight tommorrow morning back to SD, after a long and rather unproductive trip out here in Bath ME. So I wanted to end the evening with something nice and roasty to snuggle up with.

    Black-as-a-moonless-night, with a thin but ever-present ring of tannish foam higging the rim of the glass. No lacing.

    Roasty (coffee?) and slighty sweet, in both the nose and in the mouth. More toffee-ish than what I would have expected from this sort of Stout. In addition, seems to come across a little on the sweet side in the flavor. Normally a problem for me (e.g. I detest most Red Ales due to their sweetness, for example), but in this case, it seems to counter-balance the roasted coffee-ness of this beer 1-for-1.

    My only qualm is that this Oatmeal Stout doesn't seem to have much in the way of Oatmeal-ness to it. More dry and a little bitter, than what I normally associate with Oatmeal Stouts.

    A rather off-center Stout, that seems to stray more towards Dry Irish than anything else. Drinkable enough, but I can't say that I'm not a little disappoitnted by this one, to be honest....

    Black with a light brown medium thick head. Slightly sweet chocolate/coffee aroma with a hint of alcohol. slightly sweet toffe flavor with a slight alcohol and hop background and a coffee finish. Heavy bodied and dry.
