Commercial Description:
The dark malts used, give this beer a wonderfully rich aroma and taste. Strong roast and burnt characteristics. It is not hopped very heavily and oats are used in this particular beer because they lend a fuller mouthfeel.

Tap@Brewer’s Alley in Frederick, MD->mini pilsner glass. Pours a brown, diminishing head that exhibits good lacing atop a dark body. Good malty/chocolate aftertaste, sticky flavor, and a rich, but medium body. I like this one a lot, however.

On tap at the brewpub on 02/28/2009. Dark black body with faint ruby highlights and a small creamy off-white ehad. Sweet roast and chocolate aroma. Sweet chocolate, roast, and light smoke flavor with some faint oat hints. Medium light body with moderate carbonation.

Draft. Pours dark brown with red highlights. Nice tan head that leaves behind good lacing. Roasted malt, coffee, vanilla on the nose. Low carbonation with a creamy mouthfeel. Tastes of lactate, vanilla, and chocolate notes. A hint of coffee. The alcohol is warming. Lingering bitterness and malt sweetness. Overall a pretty solid example of the style.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours hazy ruby brown with nice, lacy tan head. The aroma is very oaty with some roasted grain and berry notes. The flavor is faint semi-sweet chocolate, obvious oatmeal, some coffee, and some nut and berry notes. The finish is smooth and sweet with earth and cashews in the aftertaste. Not bad at all.

Pours a very dark brown with a tall, slow forming tan head. Very hoppy aroma with stouty undertones of sweet chocolate and espresso. The flavor is very sweet with lots of chocolate and a brown sugar/ oatmeal flavor. The mouthfeel is lighter then expected and the overall beer is not that heavy or roasty for a stout. Pretty good beer.

on tap-pours a disappearing tan head and dark mahogany color. Aroma is dark malt-roasty/some molasses. Taste is dark malt-coffee/roasty/some molasses, earthy hops. Dry. After taste is coffee and dry. Occasional.

From draught sample at the brewpub. Has a nice roasted grain, molasses, and slightly meaty aroma. Light bitterness with some chocolate and coffee. Dark brown-ruby clear, with thin light tan head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Not as heavy as one would expect for an oatmeal stout. Medium body, with medium-high carbonation and a bit of alcohol warming. Starts sweet with molasses, coffee and some chocolate, molasses, and ethyl acetate for some reason. Vapory alcohol notes (not sure of the ABV), almost as if it has vanilla extract or vodka in it. Odd. Finish is sweet and clean, with little bitterness. Light sweet alcohol after.
