Red Brick Double Chocolate Oatmeal Porter

Bottle. Pours dark black with the notes of chocolate and some espresso. Malt notes rise with the chocolate and the dense flavor/texture of the oatmeal. I thought this would be kind of too much but it works really well!

On draft at OTH. Sounds delicious... Pours dark cola brown with a white head. Nose is roast, coffee, oatmeal, dry bitterness, bittersweet chocolate, and roasty bitterness. Flavor is similar with chocolate, cocoa, coffee, and lingering bitterness. Medium body and ok overall.

12 oz bottle courtesy of an extra from GAManiac. Thanks, Grant! Pours a very dark pour, black with brownish red edges, mostly opaque aside from the bottom and edges. A decent very light brown head that dies to a small layer, laces ok. Aromas are chocolatey, bitter and sweet combined, faint coffee, a good dose of caramel, a bit smoothed out roasted maltwise on the nose. Initial is burnt roasty malts, chocolate, both semi and regular sweet, light coffee, a bit of smooth sweetness and caramel, but still holds up well roasted malt wise. Body is medium, possibly a bit underbodied for an Imperial, but not bad at all. The taste is good, not quite full, but it goes down easy after my last beer. A bit of a roasty dry finish, which I would have expected more sweetness to a "Double Chocolate" beer. I feel like I taste Peanut butter in this beer, despite not having any for several days. Some milk chocolate, oatmeal sweetness. Not bad at all. Would drink again.. I think this would be better at a touch less ABV.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Very dark brown with a small, foamy, dark tan head. Poor head retention. Aroma: Roasted malt, dark fruit notes, some bittersweet chocolate, and touch of dried cherries perhaps. Flavor: Bitter roasted malt and bitter chocolate notes. A touch of coffee, earth, and slight burnt notes. Very satisfying. Palate: Medium, prickly carbonation with a medium-rich mouthfeel and a long, roasty finish. Lighter in body than I was expecting. Overall: A damn fine Porter that is worth a try. I was very surprised to find the alcohol level as high as it is. It hides the alcohol very well.

12oz bottle courtesy of dkachur. Pours a deep reddish brown with a creamy one finger tan head. The nose is oatmeal, chocolate and roasted malt. The taste is ashy cocoa, milk chocolate, oatmeal and burnt malt with some bitter coffee in the finish. Medium bodied, though not as creamy as I thought it would be with the oatmeal influence. Still a tasty little porter. Thanks again Dan!

being only slightly better than your average porter, this has a minimum of chocolate flavor and is more bitter than any other porter I’ve had. Bit of a disappointment with a name like that. Bottle at Knightly spirits, Orlando, Florida.

Tasted at World Beer Festival in Durham NC - pours a dark brown/black color with a tan head - arom of coffee, dark fruit, chocolate and toffee. Nice chocolate, malty, toffee taste with a full mouthfeel. Nice porter.
