I am reviewing the Rolled Oat Stout, but the bottle says nothing about it being organic. It's says "That's What I'm Talkin 'Bout Rolled Oat Stout." Different beer? Pours a thick dark brown color with a small chocolate milk colored head upon a hard pour, but fell quickly leaving no lacing. There almost no aroma in this beer. It smells plastic-like, slightly metallic. Nothing in the way of roasted malt or anything remotely stout like. Worst aroma of a beer I've come across. Taste is very light coffee, metallic again, slightly astringent, just overall not good. No sweetness to be found for a sweet stout. This is watered down beyond belief, which is surprising considering how thick it looked upon the pour. Mouthfeel is light and watery. No redeeming qualities in this beer. I'm having trouble finishing it. This might be a darinpour in the next few seconds.

This beer pours a nearly opaque black color. The head is half an inch in height, and recedes quickly into sparse lacing. The aroma is of roasted and burnt malts, hints of cream and baker's chocolate. The taste is like the aroma, but with the additions of a nice coffee finish. The aroma is medium bodied with a velvety texture, and nice carbonation. Overall, this is a very nice beer, that I would easily drink again.
