Nov 8, 2009 Bottle thanks to Cavie. Pours a dark black with a medium brown head. Aroma is grains, caramel, and a lot of coffee. Taste is similar, but disappointingly weak after the smell. Creamy feel and a pleasant aftertaste.

Nov 5, 2009 From a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours extremely dark with about a finger of head which dissipates within a couple minutes leaving minimal lacing. Smell is of coffee malts. Taste is coffee and to a very small extent, chocolate. Unfortunately, there’s a cloying sour undertone to the taste. The mouthfeel is also a little too thin for an oatmeal stout. Overall, a good beer, but there are many more high quality oatmeal stouts that I would go for before this one.

Oct 23, 2009 THOUGHTS: Finally my first Breckenridge rating. Surprised this doesn’t get higher marks. I don’t know if it was because I was drinking this from a Samuel Smith glass or what, but it reminded me of a "Lite" version of Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout. I’m not saying it was incredible, but it is a nice, easy to drink, full flavored and quite sessionable beer.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark brown, that was nearly black with red highlights and a large, tan, head that kept a decent sheet and left fair lacing. The aroma was moderate to heavy cereal, roasted, burnt, chocolate, strong coffee and oat malts. The initial flavor was sweet, lightly bitter and acidic; while the finish was lightly sweet, rather bitter and a little acidic with and average duration. There was chocolate syrup, bitter chocolate, roasted malt, oats, coffee, a little cherry, coffee bitterness and burnt malts. The medium to full body was creamy, or better yet, silky, but a little sticky on the lips with lightly fizzy carbonation and chalky and lightly stringent finish.

Oct 18, 2009 Very dark, had a hard time seeing the highlight color. Thin tan head, nice lacing. Heavy roasted notes in the nose, full mellow palate of coffee, roasted malt. A bit hoppy, a bit oily, average, but for an oatmeal stout that means it is not bad.
