| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 18, 2006 Had it at the Brewery. Pours like a stout should, dark with a nice head. Has a roasted coffee flavor to it. I found it hard to find the chocolate taste. Not a beer to have on a full stomach. zach8270 (2095), Henrietta, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 8, 2006 (cask conditioned @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Dark black pour with a thick and lasting tan head. Light and sweet aroma of chocolate, malts and a touch of oatmeal. The taste is very smooth and creamy with flavors of chocolate, roasted coffee malts and a sweet and smooth oatmeal followup. The finish is creamy and sweet. GTown (126), New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 9, 2005 Pours as a good stout should...brown body and tan head. Roasted coffee and malts with a nice oatmeal balance. A good session beer. DougShoemaker (2856), Toronto, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 27, 2005 Aroma of roast coffee, dark chocolate, dark brown, small toffee head, with some pretty lace. Flavour of coffee, dark chocolate, and almonds. Well balanced, full bodied, nicely bitter. Great! iratherbe (255), Marlton, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 15, 2005 Heavy & filling and I don’t mean in a bad way. Caution don’t sample after a big comfort food meal. Deep, dark, in hue & taste with lotsa malt content. Smooth, a trifling sweeter yet also well done in terms of addressing drinkability with richness. Another great job by BPB! waveman352 (178), Walden, New York, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 27, 2005 gowler from brewery 10/27/05. Pours a chocolate brown color with a creamy brown medium head. Head doesn’t last. Smells of chocolate malts and a secent of cherry at the end. Very creamy finish roast malt flavor. Slightly bitter throughout. Full of flavor and very fulfilling from beginning to end. Although it is low in alcohol I felt like I could taste a strong alcohol flavor. Great beer. Best Oatmeal Stout/Sweet Stout i’ve had yet. goldtwins (4080), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 28, 2005 Tap at brewery. Poured black with a small tan head. Aroma and flavor of roasted malt, black cofee, and light notes of chocolate. Mouthfeel is more crisp and less smooth than I would expect from oatmeal. blankboy (3205), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 16, 2005 Cask at Pizza Plant on Transit Rd., Williamsville. Pours a very dark brown/black with an average size lasting tan head. For a stout on cask it looks perfect. Very nice aroma of cocoa, hops, roasted malt and spices. Similar to aroma, flavour has a great blend of coffee, cocoa, hops and roasted malt. Body is light and creamy with a lightly bitter aftertaste -- as it warms up it gets more bitter. A huge surprise, this is a fantastic beer and it’s wonderful on cask.
