Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout

Pours dark brown with a nice tan head. Smells of chocolate, pepper, roasted malt, some dark fruit. Tastes bitter and caramelly with some nice chocolatey hints on the finish. Another great beer from a great brewer.

Pours dark brown with big brown head. Aroma is of chocolate, roasted malt and alcohol. Flavor has a bitter bite up front with chocolate, alcohol and coffee. Nice mouth feel with bite on the finish as well.

Bomber. As it pours out black as midnight on a moonless night, a thin brown head forms which hangs for a while, and I can tell already this is something special. When a beer can be mistaken for motor oil.... good. The first taste, there is the bitterness. Clinging to the tongue like a parka in winter in buffalo. I’ve had some chocolates where the chocolate is overpowering the beer flavor, but not so here. It is there, to be sure, but in the background, hiding the ABV. The label on the back reads of a diary of a world without hops. Oh well... give me this, and I’ll be happy.

Pours a thick, inky black with a small light brown head. Aroma mostly of chocolate or cocoa with a thick sweetness behind it. Surprisingly smooth. Very tart at first, giving way to a smooth, slightly malty taste that blooms to a chocolatey finish. excellent.

Pours like motor oil with a thin coffee colored head. It smells slightly sweet with a hint of the chocolate waiting for you. The first taste is a contrast of sweet malts with bitter dark chocolate. The finish leaves your tongue dry - like after eating bakers chocolate - forcing you to take the next sip. This was a very good beer - probably for after a chocolaty dessert. I would purchase this again but I still think I like the Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence Stout just a bit more.

Pours deep dark brown with thin mocha head. The aroma is full of big inviting dark chocolate notes pulling me toward the glass. I also get layers of toffee, roasted malts and a bit of caramel. Solid. The taste is nearly the same with thick rich dark chocolate that has that bit of velvetiness to it. It then moves into molasses, toffee, smooth roasted malts and a sense of coffee toward the finish. Yummmmmy.

Shared a bomber with DTM and my bro. Poured a dark brown almost black with a tan head. Strong smell of chocolate. Nice full malt flavor to go with a great palate.

A nice but typical imperial stout. Aroma was nice and chocolaty but a not as full as most. pour was a perfect deep dark black with a 2 finger tan head. Taste was a good mix of chocolate and roasted bitter malt. Slight hints of coffee. Almost tastes like those dark chocolate covered coffee beans. Decent carbonation and hides the alcohol well. It is good, just typical.
