BBB63 (3810), La Porte, Indiana, USA Aug 26, 2008 GTMW 2008: Basically opaque with a tan creamy head and left good lace. The aroma has notes of lactic acid, oatmeal, chocolate and roasted malts, some charred malt, prune and coffee esters as well. At first there was a sour like twang but that soon went away leading towards a solid sweet malt profile supported on the finish with some smoke and coffee tones, grassy hops too. The mouth feel is not has creamy has the head let on but it was not thin either. A very nice oatmeal stout all told. prosqtor (408), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Jul 8, 2008 Beerfest in Chilton. This was a nice sweet stout. Aroma is almost smoky. Tastes sweet with some oatmeal-like qualities in the flavor. Nice. phishpond417 (1456), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jun 15, 2008 Pours a thick, black colour with a huge, forever rising tan head. Aroma is of dark chocolate, toffee and heavily roasted coffee beans. Taste is full, very creamy with plenty of dark fruits, chocolate, smoke and subtle oak. Named after Oaky the dog. It was a pleasure meeting him this past weekend. kmeves (1009), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA Jan 2, 2008 Very dark beer with a thick tannish head. Strong aroma of oats and caramel malt, toffee and chocolate. Sweet malt, caramel and bready flavor. Finishes more dry. One of the better Stouts I have had in a while. incutrav (521), Woodbury, Minnesota, USA Dec 26, 2007 Nice dark color with a dark tan head. Fairly think body, with not much in the way of flavor. Somwhat similar to Gunniess. I didnt detect much coffee or malt. Easy drinking, not bad.
