Black body, thick tan head. No lacing.

Smells like roasted malts and burnt coffee.

Bitter taste. A lot of burnt coffee and malts flavors. Also, a hint of caramel.

Medium mouthfeel, light carbonation.

Overall, it's a pretty decent beer. A little too bitter for me though. I might buy this again. There's definately better options out there.

Poured a thick two fingers of tan head on a black body.
The aroma is great: roasted malt and chocolate.
The taste follows suit but with a mild bitter bite at the end.
The texture is smooth and soft with moderate carbonation.
It hits all the notes for the style with an added extra bitterness.

I picked this one up in Wisconsin, so glad I did.

It pours, black, no light aloud. Tan head that settles to skim and lace.

Aroma of chared dark wood and malts.

Taste is all malt with chocolate, oat, smoke, peat and earth. Slight hop and slight alcohol carry at finish.

The plus it the oat mild mouthfeel. The brew is soft and smooth.

Overall a great stout. I dont bring in a lot of oatmeal stouts, I'm glad I did this one , a personal favorite now.

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Pours out mostly black with a 3/4" tan head that has very good retention and good lacing. Pretty. Aroma is like many oatmeal stouts: Smooth, without giving away much in terms of bitter roasting to the nose.

Taste, chewy, smooth, well done. Nothing exciting, but just what it should be, a little chocolate malt, smooth oat silkiness, respectable amounts of two row to provide some heft in the mouthfeel. Dry, not sweet. Hops exist, but are not overstated.

A great selection for someone who wants a no frills, low bitterness stout. Which I often do. Its all oats and grains for the most part. Well rounded. The quality of this beer, paired with its cost, should be a crowd pleaser, to experienced stout drinkers and those going there for the first time.

I bought a six-pack of Alaskan Stout at a local Walmart, oddly enough. Poured into a pint glass.

Pours an black walnut color, opaque, with a modest bubbly tan head.

Smell is a roasted grain and coffee aroma with just a hint of bourbon scent.

Taste is a bitter charcoal flavor up front, with dark cocoa flavor on the finish.

Mouthfeel is good, perhaps a bit thin for the style, but a nice non-cloying brew.

Overall a good stout, especially at Walmart prices. I'll probably have this again.
