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.
Extremely ambitious full-bodied Oatmeal Stout brings creamy dark chocolate, fresh-roasted Sumatra-Kona coffee and oats-charred hops to the fore. Resounding mocha vibe enriched by fudgy vanilla, toffee, caramel and maple licks. Ashen chicory sops up tertiary Brazil nut, walnut, hazelnut and cola nut slack. An immensely complex and luxurious treasure not just for breakfast.
Approachable medium-bodied sweet milk stout retains mildly creamed lactic chocolate 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.
Strong oatmeal waft enhances coffee-stained chocolate malted stout. Punctual mocha affluence strengthens lingering cherry wood backdrop, adding depth to roasted barley-oats finish. It’s got some kick, too! Brewery defunct: 2007.
Resilient mahogany-hued ruby-highlighted mocha-chalked stout matches thick nutty resonance to faded black chocolate creaminess and rich molasses residue. At finish, grain-roasted cereal oats belie oaken cedar-burnt coffee bittering.
Draught-styled in a can (as opposed to bottled version). Dry chocolate coating given watery lightness for under-whelming frothy-headed mid-range stout. ‘Smooth,’ as advertised, but too mild and tinny for its superior class. Oatmeal flavor indistinguishable and mocha too distant in the mix.
