Red Brick Double Chocolate Oatmeal Porter

Brewed by Atlanta Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Atlanta, Georgia USA

Dark with out much head. Smells like caramel with some spices mixed in. Thinner feeling that I would have thought. Lingering rich coffee flavor for the finish.

Bottle. Aroma of roasted coffe and chocolate. Palate is light and creamy. Flavor is less intense than expected. Flavor of roasted malt, coffee, and a little chocolate.

Bottle from Matt. Thanks. Pours out a dark brown color with a tan head. Smell is heavy on coffee, chocolate, roasted malts, and espresso. Taste is smooth and sweet, and very creamy. Almost like drinking a chocolate bar. Really damn good actually, I wish I had more of these, but Matt only sent me one. :( Good stuff, try it if you can!

Poured black, small to medium creamy, ligth brown head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted coffee; a little sweet. Flavor was cominated more by the coffee; not very sweet. Not too much chocolate. Seems to be more of a stout in some aspects to me. Body was a little light. Alcohol not present. Some bitterness in the finish.

Pours dark brown with a nice pronounced/retained tan head. Smells of coffee, spices, oatmeal, and chocolate. Tastes of dark chocolate and coffee. Finish is bitter and of coffee.

12 oz bottle from TheBeerCellar2. Pours a dark chocolate with a small brown head. Coffee with a strong bitterness aroma. Flavor is stronger in coffee and than chocolate, however, nice sweet maltiness with a bitter finish. Light to medium body and alcohol is hidden well. Great winter brew.

12 oz from boboski. Very dark brown with a thin soapy head. Coffee/roast aroma with a hint of an almost charcoal-like smell. Palate medium, nice and creamy for a porter. Coffee and chocolate in the taste, with a slightly bitter coffee finish. Pretty good.

12 oz bottle compliments of TBC2! I was going to share this @ the Cleveland gathering, but since we’ve gotten a bunch of snow already and we’re expecting a bunch more, and I don’t have to work tomorrow...Sorry Cleveland raters! Tight light beige lasting head on a garnet highlighted dark brown body. Initial aromas are roasted coffee, chocolate, nutty malt, and cookie dough. Oats add to the cookie dough aromas. Hop aroma and flavor as well as fruitiness seem non existant. Flavor is well balanced throughout w/ a malt/hop swetness balance. Malt however plays a pivotal roll in the overall flavor being both cookie dough like, roasted, chocolatey, nutty, and a tad bit bitter. Bitterness also comes a little bit from the herbal hop flavor found in the finish, but the aftertaste is all about the roasted, chocolate, and nutty malts. Again, no fruitiness (not a bad thing for this beer), and has a nice semi dry finish. Body is smooth, lighter medium body, and has a well hidden alcohol along w/ a lower medium carbonation. Overall a very well made beer. Dry enough from both hop bitterness and dark grains to beg for more while avoiding cloying sweetness, but malty enough to keep it from being overly bitter. I’d love to have more of this!
