Bottle. Burnt coffee bean and roasted malt aroma. Pitch black with small long lasting tan head and nice lacing. Slightly sweet dark chocolate malt and burnt coffee flavor. Nicely blended. Nice strong stout.

12 oz bottle. Poured dark with a frothy head. Smells of roasted malts, with flavors of metal and slightly sour after taste. An interesting style.

Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, blankboy, and biegaman, courtesy of blankboy. Decent roast aroma. Dark brown, small white head. Some chocolate in taste, very strong roast. Very dry. Good stuff.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev & biegaman -- my bottle courtesy of lewis13. Pours black with ruby hues and a large mostly-lasting light-brown head. Aroma’s a tad sour and lactic along with lightly roasted malt and some chocolate. Flavour’s roasty with some chocolate and hints of coffee and hops. Medium bodied. Not sure this should be qualified as a "Sweet Stout", it’s too "burnt", but it’s a pretty good Stout nonetheless.

12 oz bottle shared with padrefan. Very chocolate and roasty malts on the aromas. Nice dark pour with a decent head. I should have just smelled this one all day. The flavor fell off a bit with some metallicness and a sour twang that didn’t seem to fit in.

Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy, biegaman and tupalev - blankboy’s bottle. Deep ruby-brown, small frothy off-white head. Sweet roasty aroma, very light hops. Malty, bitter and roasty - long bitter finish. Slick astringent body, fairly flat, carbonized. Good, not great - a little too burnt for a "sweet" stout.

12oz bottle from the Hop Shop. Pours black with a fair tan head that stays a bit and leaves some lace. Aromas of dark chocolate, some coffee, and some roasted and burnt malts. Flavor is quite burnt with good roasted malts, dark chocolate, and some slight caramel flavors around the edges. Interestingly roasty throughout. Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and a dry finish.

a very very good oatmeal stout. IMO this rivals Goose ISland’s and that’s my current fave. this is full bodied and nutty. the aroma is walnut, almond, and chestnut with toasted marshmello with a LOT of roasted malt that gives this beer the feel that it itself was roasted on a barbeque. interesting. flavor is LOTS of nutty flavors with some marshmellow and graham cracker (Its a smore!!) with lots of milk chocolate and a little light roast coffee.
