Terrapin Wake-n-Bake Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout

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

Smells of roasted coffee. Pours a veritable brown-black with medium brown head. Lacing is minimal, but leaves a residue behind tinting the glass amber and reminding you that this is definitely a coffee based beer. Mouthfeel is nice and thick and quite smooth to match. As for the taste, the beer is true to its name as coffee takes precedence and oatmeal resides as a secondary taste in the background. Probably not the best coffee based beer I have ever had (porters tend to make better coffee beers in my opinion), but for an imperial stout, this one is quite flavorful and not so burnt tasting. HIghly recommended.

12oz bottle thanks to TURDFERGUSON. Pours thick and dark like used motor oil. No head. Nose is of coffee grounds. taste is of coffee and oatmeal. Good taste. Mouthfeel is medium, not thick. Guess the oatmeal made it less harsh than other Impy stouts. Pretty good.

Super coffee. Chocolate. Lots of coffee. Nice. A very good beer that has some of that Founders Kentucky Breakfast style to it. Well done.

This poured a thick almost night black color with a tan head. Aroma was really roasted but not burnt w/ hints of dark chocolate as well. Flavor was silky smooth, roasted malts and hints of smoke and sweet chewy malts

Bottle. Pours a thick viscous black, no light getting through here. Decent foamy head rapidly dissipates to nothing. Flavor is soft sweet and chewy, notes of caramel malt, milk and dark chocolate, coffee, toffee, and a big bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar and a bit of milk stirred in. Finish is black coffee dry. Medium to full bodied, a bit syrupy and chewy. Alcohol is well hidden, I had assumed this was a lower ABV by drinking it. Solid beer.

A nice impy. Aroma was great. Full of coffee and chocolate. Pour was a flat black with no bubbles or head. Taste was velvety and smooth. All coffee with just a hint of bitter chocolate in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel was very thin and and there was little to no carbonation. Thats a shame as with some carbonation this would be a great beer.

Wow, this great, the aroma is an initial flavor of wood and coffee, the mouth feel is velvety with some smooth that goes all the way through, take with light coffee mild cocoa and dark malts all the way through. this a true winner.

The aroma is like rubber, coffee, oatmeal, burnt malt, and hops. The appearance is almost black with a tan head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is about what it should be. Overall I am just not crazy about beers with added coffee. They seem acidic and stale.
