Pouring at BCTC. Pours a clear brown to black with a thin white head. Caramel and wet grain on the nose, with some chocolate, roast, and a hint of coffee. Flavors echo the nose with some chocolate and coffee touches. Finishes with a light bitterness.

Mar 29, 2009 Cask at 3rd Manhattan Cask Fest. Deep brown beer with a thin tan head. Aroma is lovely. Soft cocoa and milk chocolate. Light earthiness as well. The flavour is quite different from the aroma. More acidic and less smooth than I would have imagined. Malts seem slightly astringent as well. More coffee roastiness and a light herbal/root beer like spiciness. Meh... it’s not really all that interesting.

Dec 28, 2008 12 oz. bottle from the brewery - Pours a clear brown color with a huge light tan head. Seems a little over carbonated. Aroma is oxidized roasted malt. Flavor is light roasted malt, esters, and some oxidation. Light fizzy mouthfeel. Medium body. A decent beer, but it may have been past its prime. The cool label gets a few extra overall points from me.

Nov 21, 2008 Pours almost black with a bit of ruby hue. A nice fluffy white head to cap it off. A nice thick lacing clings to glass as I drink it.
Smell is mostly of roasted malt.
The taste is of roasted malt as well as hints of chocolate and a touch of hop bitterness to round out the finish.
This brew goes down smooth and easy. It is a bit on the lighter side for an oatmeal scout and my opinion, but still very nice overall.
A very pleasant brew overall. I put down this rather large glass without any trouble and could have gone for another. I would definitely get this one again.

Aug 9, 2008 12oz bottle courtesy of cbkschubert. Good oatmeal and caramel aroma. Black body with big tan head and some lacing. Cramy roasty and caramel were blened well. Smooth roasted toffee on the palate. Good mix found in this one. If my favorite style was stout would probly have a sixer of this in the fridge if I just wanted to drink a beer of that style. Thanks Craig
