Bottle. This is one I’ve been drinking forever, and just have never rated. Pours deep brown/black with thick tan head. Aroma is heavily roasted malt and coffee, some sweetness, but mostly roastiness and coffee. Flavor is roasted malts, coffee, tobacco. Very tasty. Slightly acidic at the end, with a little aftertaste. This is a very good oatmeal stout, I definitely think it stands up to Samuel Smith’s.

Dec 28, 2009 Very tasty. Kinda sweet. Good malty flavour, with just the right level of roastiness. Good thick body. Smells great.
Would go down nicely with some roast pork, potatoes and gravy.
Overall very good. Not quite as good as Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal stout, which is still the gold standard for stouts.

Dec 27, 2009 Coffee aroma. Weak head, thick opaque appearance. Taste of coffee and cream. Palate also a bit weak for this type of beer. Not much finish, but overall taste is rich and complex.

Dec 26, 2009 It’s black with a red hue and a creamy, golden head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, oats and coffee. The flavor is sweet with notes of dark syrup, oats, chocolate, sweet coffee and the aftertaste is rather long with notes of coffee. It’s soft, uncomplicated and easy to drink.
