Terrapin Wake-n-Bake Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout

Brewed by Terrapin Beer Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Athens, Georgia USA

Dark pour with a small head. Strong roasted coffee aroma that dominates everything else. I have a hard time finding the oatmeal in this beer. The flavor is also dominated by the coffee roast flavor. If you like coffee you’ll love this.

Pourd pitch black with a very little head. Strong coffee aroma. Creamy mouthfeel. Roast coffee taste is dominant. There are some hints of oatmeal and malt, but this is all about the coffee.

Draft @ Charleston Beer Exchange: Pours an oily black with an alluring caramel head. Nose is freshly used coffee filter -- with the good stuff, not the stuff you can just buy anywhere. The smell is tantalizing. Flavor does not disappoint; velvety mouthfeel full of creamy malt and coffee, with an impressive roasted character. Really wish this was in my area; this is a memorable beer.

Draft at International Beer Garten (Lutz, FL). Pours a near perfect pitch black with a dense tan head. Lots of lacing along the glass. Tons of coffee in the aroma mixed with roasted malts and dark chocolate. The flavor is initially dominated by the coffee, but as it begins to warm a medley of other flavors make their presence known too(bitter dark chocolate, licorice, smoked almonds). This one was delicious and kept getting better as it warmed. Highly recommended!

A bit disappointed in this one. Just middle of the road for a big coffee stout. Roast coffee dominates the taste, eclipsing the expected nuances. Bittersweet chocolate is present in both taste and aroma and some almond nuttiness emerges as it warms. No fruit notes, and the oatmeal is missing in action.

Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured a black color with an average frothy brown head that mostly lasted and produced excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy roasted coffee malt, caramel and chocolate aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Good complex roasted choclate flavor with a medium to heavy roasted bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good complex standout brew.

This is a great beer the coffee stout can be so in your face over done but this one splits the grain to perfection not over done like the Founders in your face coffee breakfast stout. This beer has a smoother not as thick or in your face and virtually no alcohol presence. How this beer is not rated above the Founder Breakfast Stout is beyond me this beer rocks . If you are a fan of stouts or coffee stouts this one is worth seeking out. Recommend..Perfect balance between the flavors with the chocolate oatmeal and coffee coming together in harmony. The nose is all about coffee but the flavor is all about the harmony...

12 oz bottle via trade with Acknud. Pours black with a medium sized milk chocolate head that diminishes quickly. Big time coffee on the nose with some chocolate, toffee and toasted malts as well. Finish was creamy and smooth.
