batguy21784 (1), USA does not count Jan 11, 2006 comes on like a stout, but not as bitter as many. dark brown color, light brown head. The aroma is chocolatey--but definitely dark chocolate--not the cloying sweet of like nestle. Flavor is full and longlasting. My favorite beer. scraff (1656), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Apr 21, 2003 This is another great offering from brewmaster Jim Wagner. Dark coffee, chocolate, and a touch of sweetness from the oats rounds this out finish. Reminds me a bit of the Black Jack Imperial Stout, but more like his baby brother. In other words much more subdued, but still excellent none the less. A few hops are thrown in for good measure too. I recommend a trip to DuClaw if in the DC / Balt Metro area. It certainly is worth it. llgrgg (18), Baltimore, Maryland, USA May 24, 2005 Draft @ bowie..body was dark, black, with creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate with tastes of the same. Also hints of coffee but not too overwhelming. One of my favorites from Du Claw. MilkmanDan (1937), Eagan, Minnesota, USA Jun 29, 2003 Dark, with a thin brown-reddish head. Smoky nose, some tobacco hints. Nice smokiness in the flavor, oatiness and coffee. Nicely quaffable stuff. themadmumis (343), Westminster, Maryland, USA Jul 12, 2006 Yes, an excellent Oatmeal stout. Had it on tap at the Maryland Beer Festival in Frederick. Completely drinkable and enjoyable. Ups Sam Smith by a little. If you can get near this brew, do it and enjoy it!
