Had trialled this once before as part of a tasting but it now deserves its own article.
It seems this beer is rather well received in the community, and I can see why. It's an oatmeal stout through and through, and pours beautifully with a thick mocha head that bubbles pudding-like atop a dark brown / black body. There's an aroma of grain and coffee, with roasty notes throughout.
The heavy, smooth mouthfeel fits the style nicely and brings smooth malt coupled with long lasting dark chocolate and coffee bitterness. It's not a very sweet beer on the whole - instead you get the impression of significant hopping - but it exudes quality if not perfect balance. Good stuff. 8.0
