Shared with my brewing buddies while brewing our next batch. They loved the brew (they are also coffee drinkers so the moderate coffee roast flavor tasted great to them). Also tasted great as a makeshift black and tans with my friends homebrewed malt forward IPA. Given the rave reviews, the mix with vanilla, and nice mix potential I will give it a 4 star this time!
Still a solid 3 star. Roasty/Coffee flavor is still the primary flavor but I've found that if I mix about 3ml of vanilla (a few drops) it turns more into a chocolate flavor. I would say this is more of a coffee/chocolate stout than an oatmeal one. The body is a little thin and not very creamy mouthfeel. Nice warming alcohol but nothing biting. I will have no problem finishing the bottles off, but next time I'll be looking for something a little different since coffee is not a favorite flavor of mine. Next time consider: -Less roast malts -Add vanilla in some form -Maybe a little less ABV for inc drinkabliliy -Optimize water profile for higer Cl and SO2:Cl ratio for better mouthfeel and less accentuated bitterness.
Love the black color but ended up being a little more on the roasty/coffee side than I was looking for. Consider lowering midnight wheat and chocolate for next time. Might also be good with some lactose next time to add some sweetness to balance the roast out. Definitely still drinkable, just not quite what I was going for.
