Dark brown almost opaque with a sheet of khaki bubbles. Sticky-tart aroma of prunes, molasses, light banana, chocoalte, and fresh dark bread. Semi-sweet with chocolate covered bananas on the finish. On the thin side yet still smooth. Like a chocolate cupcake. Solid stout.

Tap. Large head with somewhat large bubbles that subsided quickly with a bit of lace. The nose is very mildly of hops, but toasted malt, mustiness. The beer is a dark brown, almost opaque. Tastes malty, with a heavy, creamy mustiness in the mouth--oats, caramel, brunt grains. There's a subtle nutty flavor, like peanuts or cashews, and a smooth creamy mouthfeel.

Pours dark, with unforgiving edges of auburn. Big roast flavors full of caramel and chocolate. Not too much wrong with this one.

Ok bought in the 12 oz brown long neck. Rather amusing label a heifer with tied on antlers LOL. Beer actually looks pretty darn good when poured into my pint mug dark mahogany brown with a nice tan coloured head..the head shrinks fast but never quite dissapears. This one i can definatlly smell the oats..along with a semi=pleasant burnt aroma..its not bad though. Taste is good and creamt to start than a oaty flavour near the middle of my tongue..it loses its way in the final third..no after tatse to speak of. Mouthfeel is too thin for this style..too watery near the end. This beer started off good but limped home in the end..a bit of work and this could be a good brew.

Decent aroma greets the nose. Color is a dark reddish. Taste is mostly sweet, some vanilla. Not too great.

Dark reddish-brown. Nutty (almond, peanut butter), smokey and coffeish aroma. Somewhat thin, but with toasty notes. Only light nuttiness.
