Bottle from SL. Poured a dark brown with some reddish mahoganey edging, average initial head, not as impressive as it could be for the style. Aroma was chocolate, licorice, some milky oaty character. The flavor was all of the aroma, pretty nice and rich, a touch of caramel, a dry bite on the end from the oats, but an underlying sweet lactose presence. Moderate to full body, a tad too sweet/sticky for a classic oatmeal stout, but still quite nice. Maybe it will move along the swine flu out of the system???

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle from Utobeer. Black thin pale tan head. A very dry and choccy aroma of a stout. It’s absolutely fine, but you know what? I’m just not bothered by this at all. Some choccy cream in it. So an untirely capable beer, which I just am not that bothered about.

Nov 25, 2009 Sample at the Goose Island tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 11/19/09. Pours the darkest of browns with a medium tan head. Roasty coffee and creamy chocolate nose. Chocolate flavor with roasty coffee and a dry, ashy finish. A little more finesse on the finish would have been nice, but that’s just being nitpicky. A truly good beer.
