Mar 26, 2009 nose is a little black licorice, slightly bitter. pours black with very mild tan head. palate is silky, like mosts oatmeal stouts. taste is smokey and sweet, with mild bitterness. i can definately taste the makings of my one of my favs, Black Majic. A hint of alcohol fools you into believing this is high than it really is. A pretty good oatmeal stout, but there certainly are better.

Mar 7, 2009 12oz bottle from StFun - thanks, Josh!!! Base beer for the Black Majic, apparently, and a nice one to try. First warm day of a Carolina spring and I want a roasty oatmeal stout? Eh, whatever. At any rate, I found it pleasant and unassuming. The nose is somewhat modest, decent roasted notes and a hint of creamy chocolate. Fizzy body is a bit of a surprise, given the style, and indeed it’s just a touch too thin for me. Nicely chalky finish, just like the coffee cousin. But the flavor profile’s not nearly as complex as I’d like it to be, even for a style made to session. Enjoyable even so, and big ups to Josh for giving me a chance to taste this.
