Siletz Oatmeal Cream Stout

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Pours black and opaque with a beige head. Lightly burned coffeeish aroma. Medium body with burned, malty accents, a little ashy - perhaps even tar - and a bitter - dry as a bone - finish. Has a vague underlying acidity - from the malt? 190408

Blind tasting at Papsoes place, another great session, thanks Henrik! Beer #4: Pours dark brown to black with a lacing chocolate brown head. Roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Flavour is light acidic to mild sourish. Dry roasted malt base with a nice acidic touch. Smooth chocolate and vague coffee note following. Dry roasted finish. Seems to a have a little off flavour initially that could be a mild infection, yet it goes quickly away and is replaced by a more roasted acidic note.

Bottle. Dark brown coloured with a small beige ehad. Roasted aroma of dried fruits, coffee and liquorice. Dry roasted flavour of coffee with notes of berries and hops with burnt notes. Very dry roasted finish.

(22oz bottle) Clear, very dark red body topped by big brown head that lasts. Aroma is medium sweet, coffee, some chocolate, grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, coffee, some grapefruit, roasty, light chocolate, cherry. Coffee flavor lingers well past the swallow. Watery medium body with minimal acidity. Full of flavors, but the amalgamation thereof falls short, in part because the palate seems at odds with them.
