January 2nd 2010: Terrapin Oak Aged Wake 'N Bake Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout

Appearance: 4 | Smell: 4.5 | Taste: 4.5 | Feel: 4 | Drinkability: 4

Hit up Fathead's for this one. Noticed the tap list update on Twitter and headed down ASAP.

This one poured an almost pure black with some hints of dark brown around the edges. There was a nice mocha head that left a thin ring with some oily legs clinging to the glass. The smell started out with a dominant oak and vanilla but the coffee pushed through along with some chocolate and roasted malts. The taste is amazing with a heavy sweet vanilla and oak with the bitter coffee balancing everything out. The mouthfeel is less creamy than the regular version and is a little more syrupy as well. Overall very impressive and a great oak aged version!

Serving type: on-tap
