Aug 27, 2006 Bottle, thanks to NachlamSie. Pours thick and black like tar, with some mahogany only at the extreme edges; brown, slowly-fading head. The aroma has a lot of sweet chocolate, nuts, and some coffee and toffee. Come to think of it, it reminds me a lot of chocolate biscotti. The flavor is very nutty with some roastiness and bitter chocolate. The finish is mellow and toasty. Has a nice oily oat texture. I like it.

Jun 10, 2006 Timing is everything. This pours to a deep, opaque balck, with a long thick long lasting tan head and excellent lacing. Aroma is very strongly coffee, toffee and chocolate. Flavor is more of the same.....and malty. Thick body, and rich, warm finish. I drank this on a hot summer day, yet rated it as if I were having it in late fall, on a cool night. A good beer in the right place and time.

May 28, 2006 Thick, dark, black body with no head. Metllic, matly aroma - its not really that great. just OK. The flavor is surprising filled with bitter cocoa, and roasted malts. I really don’t detect anything oatmealish about this beer. Slightly sweet finish. Very light and refreshing, and would go well with food.

May 28, 2006 Bottled - rich dark pour with small tan head - roasty, coffee aroma - fairly strong, dry, dark chocolate taste - really quite pleasant - a little thin near the finish, but otherwise a nice, drinkable stout.

May 7, 2006 Updated: Jun 3, 200612oz bottle-A nice malty coffee smell with a huge head and not sure if it was overcarbonated or infected. very faint dark roasted flavor on the front end but became more abundant on the back end.
Not good or bad.

Apr 9, 2006 12oz bottle acquired in trade atpayne (thanks!). Opened to a loud Psst. This one poured all head. Eventually settled into a dark black with red edges. Aromas of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, and some oatmeal. Nice aromas. Tastes of bitter coffee, with light chocolate and roasted malts. As expected with the pour, the body was on the over carbonated side.

Mar 15, 2006 Monster head that vanished quickly. Didn’t do a whole lot for me at all. There was a long lasting semi bitter finish. But that was about it. Very bland.

Mar 13, 2006 Nice color and aroma, just not very stout for a stout. Taste was of coffee and malt. Malt flavors lingered a little too long.
