May 2, 2008 Pours a thick tar like color with very dark tan head that very quickly dissipates to no head....barely even lacing. Aroma is of definite espresso grounds. amazingly strong aroma. Flavor is of malts and espresso. Bitter chocolate flavors. Definite nut undertones. Carbonation is light. A very delicious oatmeal stout....delicious

May 1, 2008 This poured black in color with a very thin head of brown bubbles. The oatmeal was prominent in the nose and mouth along with a smokey/metallic edge. This was meidum-bodied, smooth and engaging.

Apr 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Aroma has notes of wood, oats, roasted malt, cocoa, red wine, molasses, and coffee. Small tan head that fully diminished and left little lace. Pitch black hue. Flavor is sweet with hints of coffee, cocoa, dark ripe fruit, and wood. Palate is very full bodied and oily flat. Very slight alcohol burn. A very good stout. You have to drink this one with a knife and fork it’s so thick. My favorite one out of the DH stout series.

Apr 27, 2008 Thanks a ton to polomagnifico. I am a huge fan of Dark Horse’s stout series. Pours a beautiful oily black brew with a two finger rich creamy dark brown head. Simply gorgeous pour. My girlfriend and I just realized this beer in the glass weighs about a ton too. Very rich nose, roasty, molasses, chocolate, dark coffee, sweet, some very light grain. Dark flavor, roasty, some bittersweet chocolate, light waxy feel, serious coffee in the finish, some burnt wood. Nice smooth palate. A little warm after a sip and still a very nice coffee finish. Man this is a great stout.
