On tap @ Piece as Roland the Headless Oat Stout. This wasn’t bad, but it could have used some improvement. A bit of chocolate and caramel in the nose and a bit of sweetness from the oats, and maybe just a hint of gamey leather there as well. Good roasted flavor throughout but was just a little bit light in the loafers. Needs some tweaking and it will be delicious.

Jul 23, 2009 On tap at Piece. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is of roasted malt, oat, caramel, chocolate, and coffee. Taste is of oat, coffee, and chocolate. Has a backbone of roasted malt and a decent amount of caramel. Has some smokey undertones to it as well. Lots of lingering sweet chocolate. Mouthfeel was light, but not too thin. A very drinkable beer.

Jul 8, 2009 Pours dark brown/black with a thin tan head. Nose is of roasted malt, touch of smoke, and coffee. A little bit of a light body for a stout, but very drinkable. Good roast flavor though. I ordered the beer because I had never seen it and was a little worried when I saw it was 4.5% ABV. However, I was happy this beer actually had some flavor. Bring on the new beers Piece.

Jul 4, 2009 Draft at Piece as Roland the headless brewmaster. Pours a deep brown with a light tan head. Nose is on the sweet side with chocolate, coffee and roast coming through. maybe a tinge of smoke. On taste, quite bitter, somewhat astringent, though a nice one. First new Piece beer that I’ve had in a while. Nice.

Jul 3, 2009 Growler from the brewery. Dark, pretty much black pour with off white head that lingers a bit. Aroma of chocolate, coco wheat, Flavor is chocolate with some roast and a dry, oatmeal finish. Nice beer to sit and drink on a summer night.
