Dec 21, 2008 Very nice aroma of roast barley with some coffee notes. A bit of chocolate in there also. Pours up nice and dark as it should be with a rich lingering head. Some sweetness from lactose on the palate with a bit of creaminess from the oats. Very smooth, and well balanced. Has a medium finish. Carbonation is on the low side and feels just right. Actually, this one surprised me. To me it is one of the better oatmeal stouts I have had recently. I had a bottle version and it tastes very fresh. Nice beer!

Dec 6, 2008 ours a dark black that sits like ink. One finger creamy tan head. The nose shows a lot of soy sauce, bitter chocolate, earthy malts, diacetyl?, possible fruity/infected aromas. The flavor also had a lot of soy sauce, mild roast, bitter chocolate, some fruitiness. The mouthfeel was thin and had a cooling effect on the mouth.

Sep 11, 2008 Bottled. A very black bodied brew with a brown sugar colored head on top. The aroma is loaded with rich molasses and milk chocolate chips. There is some nice syrupy goodness here. The taste has some nice roast coffee along with bitter sweet chocolate. There is a lightly tart finish with dark plums. A decent brew that enjoyed until the finish after each drink.

Sep 6, 2008 This one had so much promise, esp. the thick, rather luxurious-looking head. But there was a deep disappointment, because amid the obvious roasted front and some of the best dimensions, I found I just really didn’t enjoy the sourness. I’ve had plenty of lactic stouts among the sweet stout category, but this one really rubbed my palate the wrong way, with a finish that left me clamoring for a glass of water. Good palate potential in the thickness, but ruined--to me--by the sourness. Bottle.
