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.

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.

12 oz bottle from the Wine Merchant in Findlay, OH. Pours the typical brown/ black of a wicked imp stout with a small off-white head. Nose is milk chocolate, roast, dark chocolate, cafe con leche, and spicy lactose sweetness. Flavor is not what it smells like entirely. Fizzy up front with dry roast in the foreground and sweet milk in the background. Between the fizz and the roast, they don’t really let the sweetness out to play. Interesting medium-bodied beer.

Bottle from Pauly’s in Lowell. Pours an oily black color with a frothy brown head. Smells like a bowl of oatmeal and molasses. Tastes of thin coffee, cream, cocoa, and hazelnut. Not bad, but smells much better than it tastes.

Bottle. Pours near-black with a small tan head. Aroma is of coffee and sweet roast malt. Flavor is mostly coffee - can’t really taste the oatmeal. Quite smoky. Not bad.

Amazingly smooth, creamy mouthfeel. The aroma makes you almost hungry. One of my favorite Oatmeal Stouts, which is saying something. On tap, this is truly incredible. In a bottle, its still pretty awesome.

Aroma is rich, smoky, oily with an undertone of unsweetened chocolate and just a touch of molasses. It pours a deep chocolaty sable with a thick but not too persistent tan head. Rich flavor fills the mouth with roast coffee, unsweetened chocolate and a hint of molasses and even a touch of hops. Texture is smooth and easy going yet leaves a nice tingly finish.
