Red Brick Double Chocolate Oatmeal Porter

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

Dark brown pour with a thin brown head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee. Flavor is rich malt with touches of coffee, chocolate, grain and sugar. Semi-sweet richness. Very good.

Bottle from jrob_21 - thanks, Jonathan! My 50th porter. Dark chocolate aroma with a smattering of aroma hops. Touch of biscuit, too, along with a hint of coffee and what I know to be oatmeal. Coke-colored pour with a light-brown head (and good, lasting retention). Dry, roasted taste with the oily, slightly acidic undertones I’ve come to love in oatmeal stouts; also reminds of coffee without the burnt espresso roast. Only lightly bitter, and then only a times, with just a bit more sweetness. Touch of wood. Watery body with just a little bit of crackle; aftertaste is dry and roasted and leaning pleasantly toward an ashen feel. Alcohol very well hidden. Basically a thinned version of the Dark Horse stouts I love, with the "oatmeal" coming through much more than the "double chocolate". Hugely drinkable. Pleasant, well-made porter!

Very enjoyable though highly bitter chocolate porter. Think baking chocolate here. Bottle from recent Atlanta trip. Beautiful black with foaming brown mocha head. Really drinkable and smoothc ontrol of all the elements.

DLD. Pours a clear dark brown with a tanned head. Sourish with aromas of coffee and malts. Hint of caramel and dark chocolate. Too sour.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with TheBeerCellar. Pours a very dark brown with a thin tan head that faded to a ring after a couple of sips. Very pleasant aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and to a lesser extent, coffee. The flavor is more roasted malt than chocolate with some tobacco flavors as well. Light bitterness and a bit dry on the palate at the finish.

12 oz bottle from shp555, thanks Steve. Pours a deep dark hazy brown with an above average size soapy light beige head. Aroma of bitter chocolate, oats, cold espresso beans and slight grapefruit rind hoppiness. Chewy medium to full bodied with noticable cabonation. Nice flavor of burnt espresso beans, burnt malts, vanilla that finishes with a strong burst of carbonation and bitterness. After reading the label I had a strong desire to become a mason but then I realised that would entail doing actual work so I just grabbed another beer instead of seking out an apprenticeship.

Pours a deep amber brown with a decent sized tannish head. Aroma is sweet malt, honey, chocolate and light coffee. Oatmeal is more noticeable in the flavor along with chocolate, wood and dark fruit. Sweet woody finish. Chewy mouthfeel, somewhat thin for a porter.
