| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 3, 2009 Black in color with rich creamy tan head... Aroma is extremely malty, but the flavor is surprisingly hoppy for a stout... Like a stout and pale ale fused together... Initially very malty with rich roasted barley flavor, but finish has a touch of bitterness, very mild however, probably from English hops... Very nice beer. kramer (2465), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 2, 2009 On tap, @ Wharf Rat. Pours a pitch black body with a creamy brown nitro head. Nice roasty and black patent malt nose with some coffee, bitter chocolate, and leafy hops. A big molasses note came out late when it warmed up a good bit. Nice smooth flavor, not overly burnt or roasted with a nice bitterness level on the back end. Pretty hoppy for the style, but I dig it. Mouthfeel is the usual nitro feel, but it’s got a bit more body and substance than the usual. Overall, pretty nice. I could have a nice session with this guy pretty easy. illinismitty (1797), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 23, 2008 Nitro at Frisco Grille labeled simply as ’’Olivers Oatmeal Stout.’’ Pours a deep brown with a eighth inch creamy tan head, coating lacing. Medium bodied with a smooth creamy texture. Mild chocolate and roast aroma. Flavor of dark roast, milk, and oats countered by a firm coffee-esque bitterness. I could use a little more sweetness. Finish has a lingering husky graininess. badlizard (2353), Berkeley, California, USA
