Jul 8, 2004 Dark chestnut. Frothy, rocky khaki foam cakes the glass with thick lace. Bittersweet chocolate, leafy hop, black licorice aroma. Airy undertones coupled with cocoa, nougat, plums, and toasted oats. Fluffy carbonation. Fairly slick body. Starts with mild chocolate notes with a tangy plum edge and rich malt layers crossed with lush oats and caramel. Lush oaty silkiness adds to the rich leathery, chocolatey textures and thickens the body. Bits of salty licorice louden the earthiness. Finishes with notable twang, yet malty rich with everlasting notes of bittersweet chocolate, smoke, and espresso. Tangy, leafy hops fail at penetrating the richness long after the swallow. Beware, as this becomes extremely phenolic after only a few months in the bottle. It’s rock solid when found fresh, though.

Jun 15, 2004 Bottle: Nearly opaque with a creamy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of toasty, nutty, and smoky malts. Additionally a fruity (plum and apple) , floral, light pine and dusty yeast esters also greets the nose. The taste starts with a good roasted oat character balanced out by mild bitters. Fruity and earthy undertone. The feel is smooth and creamy. A wonderful brew with good complexity. Thanks Jeff for sharing the bottle.

Jun 6, 2004 Dark brown, short tan head, great lacing. Smooth and sweet beginning followed by a blast of roastyness and a long dry finish. Could use some more body.

Jun 6, 2004 Brown around the edges with a good cream-colored head. There’s a nice roasty bloom, but it’s short. It’s tasty, but it needs more body.

Sep 21, 2001 Very good roasted oatmeal stout. Nice and roasted with a light drinkability and good balance. As expected this brew is much better when warmer.
