kidmartinek (972), austin, Texas, USA Jun 1, 2008 Dark black beer. 1 inch tan head. Smells like caramel roasted malts. Tastes like dark roasted malts, chocolate, caramel, toffee, and is just all around delicious. Having the luxury of having all the Oskar BLues brews in a can is a dream come true. We can now drink quality beer out of acan. Wow! what an idea. The texture is medium light, which is just grand. This is a delicious beer, a great meal replacement, and a sure winner out here on the ocean. emerica56 (575), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA May 31, 2008 It was poured into a snifter and since it was the last beer in the sixer i bought i decided it was about time to rate it. This beer has a dark brown color with no head and a good amount of carbonation. It does however leave some spotted streaks along the sides of the glass. The nose is swwet toffee with some bitter hops and roasted malt with hints of chocolate. As you drink it there is a nice toasted initial flavor filled with rich moca and coffee. the roasted flavors mixed with the chocolate moca stick to your palate like glue. overall it is a great beer and the fact that it comes in a can makes it better since canned beer is always assumed to be bad or of poor quality. BMan1113VR (2755), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA May 31, 2008 Pours with a small, creamy, light brown head that quickly disapates. Body is an ultra dark reddish-brown body. Aroma of peat, smoke, some sweet malts, and dark fruits. Pretty light tasting, finishes with some peat, smoke and malt. Hard water mouthfeel with low carbonation. Alcohol is well hidden. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA May 30, 2008 IF only more micros could go to cans, it would be so much more convenient. This pours a nice brown colour with lots of creamy syrupy aromas and a decent sized tan head. Roasted malts, toffee and apple in the taste. texasbartender (160), Sugarland, Texas, USA May 30, 2008 The beer pours from the can a very dark amber. The short lasting head is a light tan. The nose is a mix or caramel, dark fruit and coffee. The taste is round with notes of sweet stone fruit coffee chocolate toffee and caramel. The finish is slightly bitter and short lived blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA May 29, 2008 can, I have had three OB’s and all three are great, this one has a very caramel nose with a slight tan head, taste is really chocolate with some toffee and cracker jack thrown in, body and finish are excellent Snojerk321 (1914), San Diego, California, USA May 27, 2008 12oz can from South Bay liquor San Diego. I was very impressed with my first beer from Oskar Blues. Poured a deep dark brown with a faint ruby hue. A very small tan head was there and gone in a flash, little lacing. The nose had hints of toasted malts, dark fruits and chocolate. On the palate, this beer was very smooth and creamy. zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA May 26, 2008 Dark red to black body. Smokey roasted malt. Thick and filled with caramel malts. Complex palate, but not complex in the flavor. Verging on sticky sweetness. Woody. Mildly alcoholic. Still refreshing with all the dark aromas and woody tastes. Sweetness is quite strong.
