Red Brick Double Chocolate Oatmeal Porter

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

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.

Pours a very dark brown, almost pitch black and completely opaque with only the faintest of mahogany edges when held to a light source and a .5 finger tan head that quickly fades into a thin ring that lasts, leaving sporadic splotches of lacing. Roasty, smokey malt aroma with hints of bitter dark chocolate, oatmeal, toffee, hazelnut, subtle hops and toast. Full-bodied chewy mouthfeel that’s not watered down at all. Very roasted and bitter with some silky chocolate maltiness. Slightly sweet with a bitter dark chocolate finish. Very nice chocolate flavor with hints of oatmeal, roasted malt, slight burnt toast. Nice and toasty with some slight smokiness in the finish which is a nice compliment to the bitter dark chocolate. Very good.

Chocolate aroma. The first taste has a distinct chocolate and alcohol flavor. It smooths out as the beer warms.

Sampled from bottle, a gift from Pyuke: Poured a black as night colour with a suprisingly smooth flow into the glass. I was picturing a bit of a syrupy run. finger sized tan head. Aroma was awesome, some coffe grounds, a little bit of toaste, and some noticeable dark chocolate. Taste, i tasted chocolate in the faintest bit. Otherwise, dark roasted malts, being high in ABV the alcohol was very subtle. And can’t forget that roasty toast finish. Awesome beer, thanks Paul!

Bottle pours a dark chestnut body with a skimpy beige head that quickly vanishes. Aroma is subdued, with some dark chocolate, coffee, and earthy hops. Carbonation is prickly and distracting. There is an oatmeal silkiness, but it struggles to mesh with the chocolate and dark roast notes. This works better when it has sit for awhile at room temperature. The flavors just don’t integrate very well.
