Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: Stout
Montreal, Canada

Great beer. Just the right amount of sweetness. Pours jet black with a small amber head. Good lacing. Aroma is of cold coffee and grains with a semi sweet chocolate taste and strong coffee. Nice bitter finish.

Bottle @ Hopleaf. Poured a syrupy dark dark brown color, very thin head. Aroma of smokey licorish, molasses and burnt oats. tastes like the flavor, a bit carbonated and watery. Expected more from this beer. didn’t like the dry finish or the quality flavors used.

Bottle from robinvboyer, thanks man! Pours a almost total black with a thick brown head. The aroma is mostly chocolate and malt. The taste is also dominated by caramel and roasted malts with some chocolate and smoke. Pure goodness. Not much oatmeal, but a nice dark malt taste. Just great.

Bottle. Pours an oil like black with a quickly dissapating tan head. The aroma is sugary, smokey, and roasted oats. The taste is a bit smokey but overly sour.

12 oz. bottle - thanks to matt7215 for the trade; pours black and thin with chocolate colored head; aromas of chocolate, vanilla, grain and nuts; medium bodied and becomes nice and creamy; strong flavor mix of chocolate, coffee and roasted oats; dry finish; very nice!!

Good but pricey. Taste a lot like coffee. Was I supposed to put creamer in it? Pours a deep, dark black with a beautiful mocha head that just wont die. The aroma is of creamy sweet oatmeal, cafe latte and milk chocolate. The flavor is excellent, with coffee and roasted malt notes really shining through. A creamy oatmeal flavor

Pours to a luxurious chocolate brown hue topped with a creeping web of mocha lace. Aroma is all sturdy graham cracker crust and vanilla extract with bits of sweetened, old espresso and flavored milk. Sweet, but belying a body full of chunky, muscley malt character. Flavor doesn’t deliver on that suggestion, settling for mostly sweet milk, metallic cheap coffee, sugar, and sterile cherry fruitiness. Coffee tones tend to carry a soapy, overextracted quality. Hops tend to present vegetally and with bits of old citrus rinds. Non dairy graham crust peeks in again with a wink of odd, tangy sweetness in the mid palate. Palate is light to medium bodied; brittle, unsupported, loose. Cinnamon tinted oatmeal and some iron water in a lengthy, earthy finish full of minerals. Plenty of unlikeable qualities here, but none to any obscene degree. Fair enough.

Pours a deep, dark black with a beautiful mocha head that just wont die. The aroma is of creamy sweet oatmeal, cafe latte and milk chocolate. The flavor is excellent, with coffee and roasted malt notes really shining through. A creamy oatmeal flavor shows up late to the party, but does so in fine fashion, adding a smooth lingering sweetness to the finish. The palate is little bit light, and over-carbonated but doesn’t detract too much from the otherwise outstanding quality of this beer. Great brew, go drink one now.
