My favorite of the lot of 8. Great roasty toasty aroma, bits of dark cocoa and burnt business. Color is a darker brown, see through on the edges. Dark malt, toasted malt, and burnt chocolate make up the flavor, all while somehow keeping a nice sweet malt profile as well. Oats are definitely present through and LINGER through the finish. Well done.

Aug 17, 2008 Had this one on draught at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Cloudy, dark brown pour with a thick tan head, a sweet milky coffee nose, flavor is maple, brown sugar, coffee, bitter chocolate, and scotch. Incredible.

Jul 30, 2008 This is a pretty solid stout. Roasted coffee nose, with some hints of caramel and chocolate, even a light hint of dark fruits. Smooth on the palate, with some notes of burnt cocoa here and there, some light hop bitterness plays through in the finish. Nice.

Apr 26, 2008 Poured black with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and some chocolate. Taste was roasted coffee and a little hops in the finish. Very smooth from the oats I assume.

Sep 21, 2007 Updated: Jun 29, 2008 Old rating On tap at brewpub, probably in March ’06. Dark brown, nearly black color. Roasted barley and oatmeal aroma, some 70% chocolate. Roasty, somewhat sweet taste. Nice, thick & chewy, mouthfeel. Some bitterness at the end and a touch of earthy hops flavor. Roasty lingering finish.
This rating is from March ’08. On tap as well, didn’t remember I had rated it. Roasty nose, light caramel & coffee. Nice mouthfeel, very oily. Roast, chocolate, coffee, and light earthy notes.
The palate was scored as a 4 on this rating (was originally scored a 3), so I will let my new score reflect that.
