Terrapin Wake-n-Bake Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout

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

12oz bottle poured into a tulip glass produced a brown head with black body. Aroma of roasted coffee and molasses. The flavors were complex and it seemed that every sip was different. Taste of roasted espresso beans, pepper, burnt sugar, smoke, and bittersweet chocolate. Highly enjoyable ale.

crazy insane dark coffee head on it which makes it thats much more appealing.not as heavy as i thought but definitly packs a punch at 8.1%. bitterness of coffee beans with a nice oatmeal finish makes it a great beer to warm up with.the aroma is jumping with coffee and (to me) chocolate.let sit for about 5mins to really open it up.silky on the tounge.

draft. Huge breakfast stout filled full w/ smooth oatmeal, strong straight up coffee, bakers chocolate, & booze. The coffee is a bit too much for me but thats this beer strong point really. Jittery drunk.

Solid black pour with a thick brown head. Aroma is heavy espresso, milk chocolate, and roast coffee beans. Taste is more like coffee than beer with a sweetness beginning then hits the back of the tongue unleashing bitter coffee. Rich velvety smoothness with mild carbonation. Finishes with coffee and cocoa flavors.

A: Pours an ink black with a monstrous head that settles down nicely to a small espresso colored ring. This one is very carbonated, which I guess leads to the large initial head. Fine lines of bubbles could be seen racing to the top up until the very last gulp. S: Nothing too special here. There are hints of coffee and milk chocolate, but nothing to really brag about. T: I was surprised this is a great stout. Up front I taste fine dark chocolate, which is quickly over taken by the taste of fresh brewed coffee. It finishes off with just a little smoke to make this one taste good from start to finish. M: I would call it medium for a stout. It is rather creamy which helps it to go down easily.

Draft at redlight redlight. Pours black and opaque with a brown head. Amazing aroma. Lots of rich gourmet coffee in the forefront, behind it some oak and a woodiness. On the tongue the coffee though still very present subsides just a little to allow some other flavors to come through: dark roasted malts, hints of root beer, and some bitter cocoa. Creamy, rich, and delightful.

2008 vintage had on 11/28/09. 12 oz bottle pours thick oily blakc with dark mocha head. Smells like rich molasses oatmeal cookies with coffee and a hint of butter. Full bodied creamy rich caramel taste. Then a balanced bitter coffee finish with oatmeal and vanilla on the tongue. Really unique coffee stout and can’t wait to try again.

(bottle - 12 oz - 2008 vintage) Pour a pitch black motor oil color with almost no head visible. Coated the inside of the glass as I drank it. Aroma is roasted coffee mixed with some mild chocolate and cocoa hints. Flavor is a nice and smooth roasted coffee beginning with a smooth and very roasty chocolate and malt middle. Some light sweetness from the oatmeal comes through at the end. Very thick and creamy. Awesome beer.
