Commercial Description:
This stout is sheer beer poetry. Let it warm to about 45 F and pour it into a glass to fully experience its rich, roasty flavors and hints of coffee and chocolate. One glass and you'll agree: The Poet is truly a rich, creamy brew of epic proportions.

For a sweet this one was really good. Aroma had notes of coffee, roasted malt, oats and nuts. Flavor had quite a bit of oats with roasted malt, coffee and sweet toffee blending nicely. Mouthfeel was smooth and creamy.

Pours a deep translucent brown with a creamy but small head. The aroma was at first muted to the point of basic non-existence because of the remarkably low serving temperature, as it warmed there were hints of roasty coffee and some molasses, very pleasant. The flavor had hints of raw coco, a nice fruitiness, and some good coffee. The oatmeal shines through on this one more prevalently than it usually does in a beer dubbed an "oatmeal stout". The palate is full and creamy.

Pours nice and dark, very nice sized head and leaves a generous lace as it disappears. Is it possible to smell thick? If so, here it is. Milk, Chocolate, and a very light scent of roasted malts are present. Oats are also in the mix. Tastes matches the smell closely, very creamy and chocolatey. With the medium to thick body and light carbonation, this is a damn good combination. I would absolutely have this again, although I must say as a downside it doesn’t have much to distinguish it from beers of a similar style.

I poured ths one a lttle too hard, got a super high, dark head. Nice rich aroma, nice bitterness & burnt chocolate/coffee notes. Very drinkable.

Dark black/brown color. Small light brown head. The dry bitter taste is not as good as its aroma. Coffee and dark chocolate with a pretty full body. Thick and creamy texture with some staying power. Decent brew.

Got this in a mix 12-pack and this was the only notes I wrote down: Nice and creamy mouthfeel, bitter malt flavor. Not bad!

Smokey flavored sweet stout with a bit of chocolate sweetness, and coffee. Full bodied stout, that was quite tasty.

Bonus bottle from Punkrkr27, thanks Steve... Pours black with a light mocha head.. Aroma is chocolate, vanilla, some roasted malts and coffee...Flavor is dark chocolate, roasted malts and I can’t really pick up much else.. Lots of carbonation...Not sweet like I expected but it is pretty decent. Would have thought I was drinking a porter.
