Terrapin Beer Company Moo-Hoo

__Aroma:__ “An earthy roastiness leads up front, with notes of baker’s chocolate and vanilla and a light sweetness in the back. These aromas give way to a really nice coffee-and-cream aroma as the chocolate dissipates.” __Flavor:__ “A nice milk sweetness up front is ushered in by light, not-too-sweet chocolate notes that work well with the vanilla. Smooth roast character is evident in the back and provides a great balance to the sweetness. Dark cherry and black walnut notes hang in the background. The body is medium and creamy, and it finishes sweet and round, yet dry enough to invite another sip.” __Overall:__ “Chocolate flavors abound, without being overly sweet. A pleasing complexity of sweet combined with cherry and walnut notes, and new flavors are detectable in each sip. It’s everything one looks for in a sweet stout, and the balance was spot on. It was like eating chocolate pie with a cup of coffee.”

“Smooth, light chocolate aroma with no esters. Pleasant low oatmeal notes add complexity. Smooth body with well-balanced bitterness and medium sweetness that lingers. Carbonation is a touch high but clears the palate. Medium chocolate and low roast with smooth oatmeal notes.”

**Aroma:** “Rich roasty notes with medium chocolate, light coffee. A little nutty.” **Flavor:** “Roasty chocolate up front with a slight brightness to it. A smooth creaminess hits in the front and carries through. The creaminess blends with some chocolate roast character to provide the taste of a light milk chocolate bar. Medium vanilla and roasted coffee as it starts to warm. The oats come through to support. The finish is quite dry.” **Overall:** “Very creamy and smooth character from the oats and lactose make this an easy-drinking stout. There was a nice sweetness and balance from the roasty character. The chocolate and toasty malt character come through nicely. This was a well executed oatmeal cream stout that I could session all evening long.”
