Nov 30, 2004 Pitch black ale that turns out to be cola-colored when held up to bright light. Small, very creamy, khaki head. Good retention with stratus lacing. Malty and toasty nose... vanilla, cocoa and nuts. The flavor is perfectly balanced with tangy hops and other wonderful, roasted flavors, molasses and chocolate. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Lengthy, pleasantly bitter, lightly burnt finish.

Jun 20, 2007 Growler courtesy of lukin013. Pours brown with a creamy tan head. Smells nutty with some underlying chocolate. Tastes nutty with a nicely balanced amount ofroastiness. A bit on the watery side, but otherwise an above average stout with an herbal semi-sweet finish.

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.

Jan 1, 2006 Draft @ Coles in Buffalo listed as Blast Furnace Oatmeal Stout. Black body with a small off white head. Muted roasty malt aroma, flavour is likewise. Mild roast in the flavour with very small touches of dark chocolate and lingering roast in the aftertaste. Average to medium palate. (3+) Bit simplistic but pleasant enough.

Aug 21, 2006 Sample at the brewpub. Pours pitch black with a wispy tan head and thin spotty lacing. Pleasant aroma of coffee and malt. Smooth and rich mouthfeel with toasted malt, coffee and chocolate flavors. The finish is bittersweet chocolate with a lingering touch of hops afterward. Solid all around.
