| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 24, 2006 12-oz. Pours an opaque black with a solid layer of thick, moussy tan head that’s gone after the first sip. The nose is quite retiring; roast and coffee and chocolate there but you almost have to dunk your face to get them. The attack isn’t much more forward; medium body and scarce carb and gentle flavors. Once the mid-palate warms up a bit, though, it comes to life, with the usual suspects (roast, coffee, and chocolate) showing up. Clean finish with a bit of coffee and just a hint of sticky resin. There’s no cloying creaminess or sticky sugariness from the oats; they’ve done a nice job of keeping this balanced and just barely forward without overdoing anything. Nice stuff.
