Earthen reddish-hued dark ale with moderate raisin-date tartness and superb hop-spiced barley-roasted oats-dried caramel malting defers stylistic mocha expectancy. Mellow, relaxing, and refined without becoming too sweet or overbearingly strong.

Fruited medium-bodied stout with cola-like flow softer and less assertive than expected. Lackadaisical coffee nut influence depletes weak mocha finish. Inconsequential berry nut meander lingers beneath.

Precluding fine bittersweet black chocolate frontage and remedial toasted oats follow-up, this deep mahogany-bodied, dark tan-headed lactose stout gets oily by meandering mocha-soured burnt coffee finish, sabotaging underlying dry hop roast, tobacco leaf hint, charred wood singe and floundering orange driblet.

Engagingly rich sweet stout retains black chocolate theme and milky creaminess countering lingered burnt coffee deepness rising above tobacco-hickory illusions. Persistent honeyed oats core gains better access as beer settles.

Indelible nitro-injected full body places thickly rewarding cappuccino creaminess above milky black chocolate density and toasted barley-oats foundation. Roasted hop char deepens tertiary walnut, anise, and tobacco chew illusions.

Flattish opening seems watery, lacking depth on initial impact. But mildly hop-embittered mahogany body picks up steam and never looks back. Bourbon-soaked milk chocolate, vanilla, and roasted coffee midst proves elegant. Delicate black cherry, espresso, walnut, and dark floral illusions settle beneath. Compelling bourbon whiskey finish seals the deal.

Caramel-burnt black chocolate sway enriches maple-sapped sweetness to butternut bottom as briskly citric-hopped water crisping softens flow. Recessive mocha finish picks up wood-charred oats-toasted buttering.

Intriguing black velvety oatmeal stout with 11% alcohol perk juxtaposes hop-charred oat-toasted graining against milky chocolate-cocoa malting up-front. Brown sugared Baker’s chocolate illusions rise above tertiary vanilla bean, anise, molasses, tobacco, and tar notes as well as black cherry puree tartness. Dry espresso coffee informs oncoming fudge cookie finish ’til warm bourbon aftertaste beckons.
