On tap at Blue Point, oats-flaked toasting and smoked chocolate malting contrast hop-charred coffee roast. Molassses-glazed walnut-hazelnut-almond conflux and sour black cherry undertones fill out mocha-dried medium body. Just a tad soft stylistically. 

Rapturous ‘hoppy oatmeal stout’ with pronounced dark-roasted coffee bittering above oats-roasted black chocolate and vanilla illusions. Dark rye breaded bottom secures dry hop charred mocha theme. More bitter than sweet.

Approachable medium-bodied sweet milk stout retains mildly creamy lactic resonance over oats-roasted hop toasting and fizzy carbolic aridity. Fudgy burnt caramel spell underscores ancillary black cherry, raisin and fig hints.

Reputable sienna-headed mahogany-toned full body with dry coffee-oiled entry picks up Blackstrap molasses bittering over toasted oats backbone. Peat-y compost waft never sullies walnut-charred peanut shelling or dark chocolate undertones. Tertiary bourbon, vanilla, espresso, cola nut, black cherry, and ashen tobacco illusions barely touch the surface as heavy black coffee density overrides rich mocha finish.

Robust lactose-aided jet-black winter seasonal competes favorably against best full-bodied oatmeal stouts marketed year-round. Creamy molasses-sapped black chocolate roast and wood-charred hop-oiled black coffee bittering saturate sharp hazelnut, walnut, and Brazil nut toasting to setback earthen peat grouting. Tertiary vanilla bean, raisin, black cherry, and anise illusions jut in and out.

Enduring roasted coffee theme embitters hop-charred oats and chocolate-roasted grains. Dry powdered cocoa, dark chocolate, black cherry, and fig undertones counter acrid tar accrual at smoky mocha-malted finish of robust full body. Serve as a wintry nightcap.

From the Great White North comes this sturdy black-hued brown-headed brisk-watered hop-toasted stout. Sweet mocha barleymalt richness, honeyed oats essence, and mineralized cereal graining enliven silken ash tongue. Not nearly as heavy as mahogany appearance indicates, yet second only to heralded Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout.

Ashy up-front mocha-maple sweetness and terrific flaked oatmeal finish bookend smoky dark brown treasure. Subtle dry malts and bitter hops amplify seeping piney essence, softening raspy chocolate sweetness to dry coffee finish. Neither as potent as Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout nor as chewy as Ipswich Oatmeal Stout, yet an undeniable big time contender.

Jet black oatmeal stout lacks creamy black chocolate density of richer rivals, yet woodsy hickory-oak insistence, smoked meat graze, black cherry tang, and anise amble confirm scintillating dry port appeal. By firm finish, mellow butterscotch awakens flaked oats toasting.

Parched mocha whiff sets up delightful oats-dried black chocolate setting, burnt coffee bittering, and maple sap deluge of mahogany medium body. Rich cocoa malting drives nutty rudder where secondary charcoal-tar coarseness and tart fig recession cluster. Crisp mineral water current provides clean bed.
