Miver (559), WillowStreet, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 17, 2009 12 oz bottle. Poured black in color with a thin brown head that left very light lacing on the glass. Aroma of milk chocolate, and light roast. Tastes of dark chocolate, lactose sweetness, light coffee, roasted malts. Roasty finish lingers for a while and is quite nice. RoscoeJackson (15), Michigan, USA Nov 12, 2009 i had 3 of these yesterday and wasnt crazy about them. today’s is tasting a lot better. i recall liking their oatmeal stout more. this is tasting better tonight than the samuel smith oatmeal stout i just drank. Soonah (910), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Oct 23, 2009 From a trade with coyotehunter. Poured very dark brown with a brown head that was almost one-finger tall. The aroma was roasted malt, thin coffee and light chocolate. The flavor was on the sweet side, with artificial tasting chocolate rolling over a base of smoky, roasted malts. Almost medium bodied mouthfeel. A little bit better than OK. SuzyGreenberg (1324), Seattle, Washington, USA Oct 15, 2009 12 oz. bottle - pours clear dark brown with thin to no head; roasted milk chocolate; sort of sweet but texture and flavor profile is very thin; sweet, dry and roasty with mild richness; easily the weakest of the 5 stouts NayTron (37), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Oct 12, 2009 Pours black with a brown/tan creamy head. Smells of toasted malt, coffee, some expresso. Taste is smooth with a light coffee and bitter chocolate which lingers. Finishes nice. CanIHave4Beers (859), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Oct 12, 2009 Pours a deep black with a small espresso swirl head. The aroma is big and pungent with some burnt toasty and coffee. The flavor follows with a big creamy flavor with some bitter coffee and dark chocolate. Palate is big and creamy, wonderful stout. GranvilleTim (475), Granville, Illinois, USA Sep 20, 2009 Dark black pour with a brown head. Aroma of sweetness, roasted malt, slight hint of coffee. Taste is sweet, creamy- roasted malt, lactose sweetness. Had a dry finish. A good beer. cgarvieuk (4171), Edinburgh, Scotland Sep 3, 2009 Bottle at home ...
