UPDATED: JAN 7, 2019 way too light brown color. Very light brown head. Light roastiness. Very smooth. Excellent oatmeal, roasted malt and chocolate character. Super smooth because it’s on nitro (but the taproom doesn’t tell you)

Can. Name is just the Omen but ABV matches. Black with a tan head. Aroma of sweet mocha, licorice , molasses. Medium bodied. Firmer roast and bitterness than suggested by the aroma. Solid drop.

Pint on tap at Club Rivers, Riverwood. Black beer with a cream-coloured head. Looks like a picture. Chocolate nose. Smooth texture. Sweet cocoa taste and finish. Nice stout, served too cold of course. Let it warm a little gets even better.

Keg - The Shakey, Surry Hills, Sydney. Poured black with slight ruddy hues on the edge and a tall, thick and creamy tan head. Dark fruits, oats, vanilla, liquorice, roasted malts, choc and coffee. Rich, smooth and creamy on the palate. Medium to full body, soft carbonation, an oily mouthfeel and a moderate length and intensity bitterness to finish.

Draught at the brewery. Pours an opaque black, with a small tan head, which lasts reasonably well and leaves good lacing. The aroma offers black coffee, chocolate and toasty malt notes. Very mild citrus hops give way to roasty malt and coffee in the mid-palate, with a dry finish, offering dark chocolate notes. Not the most complex oatmeal stout, but a satisfying beer nonetheless.
