Tap @ Papago. Nose may of been off a bit when I had this one.. Aroma was like a sweet brandy rather than beer. Alright just different. Black body with tan head. Oatmeal in the flavor dominated the sweetener. Carbionated body. Easy on the palate good light brewed stout.

[Bottle] Pours a clearish dark brown with a nice cascading brown head. Not much oatmeal on the aroma, but mostly roasted barley. Plenty of oatmeal in the flavor, nice rich mouthfeel with a mild roasted barley flavor.

A little lactic in the aroma. Looks good. The flavor for this is a bit too milky up front. However, it gets smoother and sweeter as it goes along. Pretty good stuff.

A really nice stout. Pours a deep brown with a large light brown head. Aroma of cocoa, coffee. Flavor is dark chocolate, coffee, with a semi-sweet, rich finish. Very drinkable. A thumbs up from me....

Garnet highlights show through the dark brown body when held ot light. The light brown head pops and is farily dense as it fades. Milk chocolate mixed with coffee make a nice mocha aroma. There is also a little bit of pancake dough. The taste has light milk chocolate chips balanced with some hints of pancakes. There was also some dark corn syrup that hints at molasses. The soft mouthfeel helps to make this very drinkable. Nicely done.

Bottle. Very dark, almost black pour with minimal head. Aroma of chocolate and toasted malt. Flavor of chocolate, coffee, oatmeal and toasted malt. Thin mouthfeel, certainly not creamy.
