Nov 30, 2002 Oh man. This is perhaps the perfect example of my favorite kind of beer. Full oats and chocolate aroma. The flavor was very chocolaty...very sweet...like a creamy chocolate milk shake. I too, tasted a cashew-like nutty flavor which blended perfectly with the other flavors. Not really much bitterness here. This beer is all about the malty sweetness. Nice roasted character with it’s milk chocolate core, and oatmeal creaminess. Perfectly black color...thick tan head, and perfect carbonation.

Apr 17, 2004 Of Kalamazoo's November stouts, only Rye, Cherry, and Java have actual label designs, with all the others wrapped in generic black and white. Guys, would a smiling, dancing bag of oats be all that hard to do?
Solid black, with an enormous, towering tan head. Roasty aromas stand triumphant, with hints of spices, anise, cloves, espresso...no, more like immersing your entire face into a steaming pile of coffee grounds. Earthy, but soft on the palate, with an initial rush of gritty texture. Long and satisfying finish, dry, full, substantial. Medium/full-bodied, and,mmmmm..excuse me,...mmmmm, oh,yeah! The flavor keeps on giving and giving!
This might go down as my favorite American oatmeal stout! If we can get KBC to brew it year-round, I'll get to work on Oaty the Happy Oatmeal Boy, and then we'll be in business!

Nov 8, 2005 1st of all I cannot believe that I found this. poured black, with a dark tan head. aroma , has soon as I opened this I could smell the chocolate and malts, oncce in the glass, the chocolate became the bittersweet kind, roasted malts, molasses, coffee, brown sugar, raisins and got a hint of plums. flavor was not disappointed at, got dark sweet chocolate, malts, cherries, espresso. the mouth feel was nice and smooth, not too thick and not too thin. one of the better oatmeal stots I have had this aged very well.
