Jan 1, 2007 Draft at the diminutive brewery tasting room. Opaque black color with thick tan head that settled into a thin foamy cap that hung in there for a while. Aroma is roasty coffee with a hint of chocolate, light brown sugar, and occasional anise. Medium bodied with a delicate, almost imperceptible sweetness throughout, and a light roasty bitterness at the end. Flavor is a little one dimensional, mostly weak coffee. Looks great and has a pleasant aroma, but it didn’t exactly dazzle my taste buds.

Dec 14, 2006 Not everyone present had the same impression but I found this to have something of a smoked character. Maybe I’m just nuts. Nice brown color w/ a wee bit of head and a small spot of lace. Pretty basic mild stout flavor w/ some subtle smoky notes. A slight medicinal edge detracts from overall impression but this is definitely one of Millstreams better efforts.

Dec 10, 2006 Roasted chocolate malt with some lactose. Almost fully opaque. Not bad. Very light, otherwise very nice flavor. Definite oatmeal. Just doesn’t have much to keep the palate interested. Not bad at all.

Nov 1, 2006 Now this is a good-looking beer! Dark in color with a nice tan head. It has a complex oatmeal/coffee taste, but in the end it was just a little too heavy for me. But if you like a good dark beer, you’ll like this oatmeal stout!

Oct 6, 2006 12 oz bottle pours milk chocolate in color with a tan head. Bready, chocolate, coffee, roasted, and oat aromas make up the nose as well as the flavor. Although it could be a little thicker bodied, its very smooth and sweet with the slightest hint of hop bitterness.

Sep 17, 2006 Bottle from Duane. I finally get to try a Millsteam beer. Nice looking black pour with a cream colored head. Aromas weren’t too strong, but it had a good sweet malty aroma and flavor. A bit thin, but overall an easy drinking, good beer.
