I did not rate for a while because of the frustration, but now Im back. Any way this was a nice stout. sebletitje (1986), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 25, 2009 bottle mix pack.
Pours dark ruby with nice creamy mocha head.
Aroma. I could not help but find a funky nose that reminded me a lot of Jolly Pumpkin sour fruits, also had light coffee and chocolate presence and a dough like goodness and roasted malts.
Taste was a little similar, nice malty and coffee palate with a light chocolate/ bitter coffee finish. Possibly some dark fruits for an overall enjoyable beer with some astringency. drjay44 (809), Salida, Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 19, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a thick mocha head of medium duration, with beautiful lacing, over a clear dark brown body.....nose of roasted malts (coffee, cocoa)....taste is similar, with initial malty richness, followed by mild hop....mouthfeel is lighter than expected and not as creamy as the style "oatmeal" needs. Still a nice effort. dwaggs2 (561), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown almost blacker with a creamy head. Aroma is caramel, chocolate, coffee, nuts, banana, and smoke. Flavor is all the same. Very drinkable smooth beer. Very rich and creamy. Good decent beer.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 11, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Brown when it pours, blackish brown in the glass, with a deep brown foamy head. Smooth dark roast and coffee malt smell, no sourness. Light coffee on first sip, followed by the lightest hint of sweet black cherry. Just a tad more astringency than most oatmeal stouts. Bottle carbonation robs it of the smoothness that it would have on a nitro tap. Lingering chocolate aftertaste is pretty pleasant. A good beer meant to be experienced on tap.
