Bourbony nose, nicely roasted oatmeal stout with bourbon notes at the finish.

An outstanding oatmeal stout by far! Subtle pleasing aroma.. but with a surprising deep and rich, sweet dark roasted expresso flavor.. bursting in the palate! Had it at their brewery in Paso Robles, CA. After having one on tap.. Can't have enough of this incredible brew, so I bought a couple of pint bottles to go! Cheers from SoCal USA 10/10/16

This is double cream velvet Mercian on nitro. Wonderfully sweet. Very good, however, I think the nitro killed it

Possibly the smoothest stout I have ever had. Parabola is awesome but this is way smoother and doesn't punch you in the nuts like Parabola. Outstanding.
