| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 25, 2005 Not just for breakfast anymore. Big rich oatmeal stout with some milk stout qualities, the lactic properties come thru in the end. Roasted cocoa and espresso notes with a mild anise note.
Big robust mouthfeel with no malt astringency. Nice clean finish. SDalkoholic (1195), Chula Vista, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 11, 2005 Got a tiny whiff of some malt, but not much. Black and completely opaque with a thin khaki colored head. I don’t know what the deal is here but my taste buds are having a great difficulty picking up anything. Almost flavorless to me, but a small amount of bitter chocolate and oats are what little i can sense. The idea of eggs, bacon, and toast sounds very good. So, that is exactly what ima go cook and eat with this beer. jah noth (1017), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 5, 2005 Pours fairly dark with little head, nearly opaque with crimson edges. Chocolate syrup on the nose. Flavor is velvety and oily, sweet chocolate with mild roastiness. Slight bitterness, quite smooth. A nice brew for sure. Thanks to Derek (The Fat Man Rocks) for the sample. thefatmanrocks (22), California, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 12, 2005 Great Beer...I used to live with one of the brewers. He was the best roommate in history. Drank dank beer and always brought a keg home on friday...Even one made a beer especially for me (the Pentagram Ale-a kitchen sink beer with 14+ alc.) If ya meet Robert Fevior, tell him" Animal sent me"...Anywho...
Black Opaque color (black holeesque) with a mocha head. Very thick beer, viscus.
Malty coco aroma, lots of chocolate (as you would expect) creamy and smooth with a very full mouth feel. FInish is Dry and crisp...WHat’s missing is it’s longevity. THe first couple of slugs are full and rich, but by the end of the bomber it’s taste flattens out and seems less special...not a chore but less special.
Buy it. it’s good. Sickboy282 (1098), San Diego, California, USA
