Jul 29, 2008 Smooth, with sweetness and even a actual hint of oatmeal. Not hoppy at all, one of the best stouts out there.

Jul 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours a very dark brown/coffee color with some red coming through when held up to a light. Has a thin, silky tan head that lasted a good while. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and oat. The taste is much the same, excpet it is slightly sweet and has a nice bitter finish. A rather exceptional beer, as it is delicious tasting and incredibly easy to drink as it is so smooth. Well worth the money it costs and is a beer that I look forward to having again.

Jul 26, 2008 Comes out in a similar manner to the pale ale but the head and carbonation last much longer. The froth is coarse and large with big chesty bubbles. Very black in colour with
tinges of red in the light. Bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass long after the pour.
I could perceive malt loaf, toffee and caramel in the nose, and coffee, bitter dark chocolate and quakers oats (of course) in the taste. Got an unexpected fizz from this stout. Excellent lacing, almost like watching a film comprised of vignettes as it descended the glass. No compromise.
Surprisingly light for a stout, but with a complex aroma and flavour. i expected a little more body but nothing to much to complain about. Improves as it warms but experienced a slightly metallic finish.
Great beer all round and i much prefer this to the pale ale.

Jul 25, 2008 pours similarly to sam smith’s taddy porter, but with a lighter colored head and more lacing. Decent aroma- chocolate, coffee, sweet notes. Flavor is greatttt- malty deliciousness. Phenomonally smooth. Great beer, especially considering its common availability.

Jul 22, 2008 550 ml bottle. Very dark pour. Mild clean aroma. Refreshing and easy to drink. Quite light, thin and mild overall, but with a prolonged pleasing aftertaste.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle 12 oz. Pours deep brown with a small light brown head. Nose is sweet malt with some roasted notes. Taste is smooth and light with the oats finishing up the taste well. After taste is very pleasing.
