The pour is *black* with a small amount of tan head. Medium/high carbonation. Great lacing. Nose is espresso, dark chocolate, slight dark fruits, liquorice and roasty malty sweetness.
The flavour is big plum off the top, raisin, dark roasted malt, pumpernickel bread, coffee, bittersweet chocolate, walnut(?). Long, bitter, dry finish. Light/medium mouthfeel.
Rating is 8.5/10 dogs. I love this beer. I am a big fan of oatmeal stouts anyways, but this one is fantastic. Paddock Wood is a tremendous, imaginative brewery that just keeps putting out fantastic beer.
