UPDATED: JUL 3, 2015 On draft at holy grail darrrrk black pour. Aroma was mostly roasted things. Taste had several layers. Roast. Smoothness of the oats. Sweetness mid way through from creaminess and ???? Maybe toffee. Can’t quite place the last flavor. Thought this was a nice stout on lower end of alcohol % also

12oz bottle at home. Pours dark walnut, with a medium head and light lacing. The aroma is sweet, almost cloying, but good. Nice taste for the style, definitely no off flavors. I think it’d mesh well with a variety of foods, too. Really nice overall, with plenty of complexity, actually. Another winner from Odell.

HIGHB4LL (837) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - DEC 31, 2014
On tap at Killian’s. Appearance: finger chocolate head, dark brwon color, opaque, good lacing. Aroma: chocolate, roast, earthy and musty. Palate: full body, average carbonation, light-medium bitter finish, creamy. Taste: sweet chocolate malt that smoothly transitions into a decent floral hops that balances it out. Overall, good balance, good beer.

I expect a lot from Odell when it comes to dark beer because I know they have the ability to make amazing roasted goodness. Gramps is a strong showing from Odell but it doesn’t quite reach the level of mind-numbingly good. I really appreciate this oatmeal stout’s smoothness and balance. Dark chocolate notes, coffee, and smoked malts converge to form the flavor. Body is black and moderately heady. Aroma has caramel, cocoa, and burnt sugar. Overall, I’d like a fuller body, but this is still a good dessert stout for the cold months.

HuskerTan (1042) - Kearney, Nebraska, USA - DEC 6, 2014
Draft. A- Oatmeal, roasty, coffee, chocolate. A- Black color, dark liquid, off white head. T- Coffee, chocolate, malty, cocoa, roasty. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- A great stout! Loads of coffee and roastiness on the nose. Same goes for the flavor. Balanced and complex and one I wish I could find readily available in stores.

This is definitely a sweet stout. Unfortunately, the sweetness isn’t balanced with any degree of roasted character. Has a nice mouthfeel and finishes light.

On tap, poured a deep brown hue w/ large beige head and sticky lacing. Medium smokey malt aroma. Initial flavor is light sweet w/ a light bitter finish. Tastes are smokey malts, roasted malt, and caramelized sugar. Medium bodied and watery mouthfeel. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle, pours a black body with a light brown head. Aroma of malts, oats, and cocoa. Taste is similar, although rather weak and watery. The palate is thin for a stout.
