Generally speaking I tend to trust Breckenridge beers, but this had some really funky vegetable aromas and flavors. These of course did not mix well with the other flavors of Oatmeal, chocolate, and nuts. The beer looks fantastic in the glass with a big tan head and tons of lace. But something just was not quite right here.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 8, 2008 Bottle. Initially, this smells very similar to two very other notable stouts (one an oatmeal): Big Eddy and BORIS the Crusher - a sweet but dark concoction of chocolate, coffee, deep cream and spices. The spices melt away in the flavor, however, and what remains can be called, dry, dark, watery, and imbalanced at the end. But I have had worse... BeerBaron617 (308), Novi, Michigan, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Sep 8, 2008 I purchased this as part of my pick six at my local shop. This pours an opaque dark brown, with a light brown head. The aroma is very roasty, and a bit nutty, very different, but I like it. The flavor definitely follows suit, with roasted coffee notes, as well as hints of dark chocolate. A classic stout with wonderful roasty notes. Cheers!
