Dec 16, 2009 Drat at the brewpub. The version I tried was listed as 8%.....oh well. Pours black, a little watery, small beige ring. Nose of fresh coffee beans, cocoa dust, some dried dark fruits as well. Flavor was much of the same. Pretty tasty, nothing too special though.

Jan 27, 2009 On tap in La Jolla. Color was dark brown with a light tan head. Aroma of sweet malt, cocoa, roasted malt with a dusting of toffee. Flavor was not overly sweet with a good amount of roasted malt and cocoa. Pretty easy to drink. Did not pick up much of the oatmeal presence.

Aug 26, 2004 big ass head that is brown, with a thick black body. a nice thick deep chocolate flavor to it to overide the usual bland and nasty outmeal that it is based upon. it was very well balanced and filled in well since they didnt have the imperial.
