Mar 15, 2008 Updated: Jul 22, 2008Nose is malty caramel and bitter roast. Dark redish charcoal black, not quite opaque with a nice head with some retention, light lacing. Flavor is very nice, somewhat complex blend of the lightest fruitiness, dark malts, and good bitterness for balance with a medium dry finish. Mouthfeel is silky and nice, very drinkable. Overall a very nice beer that show cases everything roasted barley and dark malts can be.

Mar 15, 2008 Brown black in coloer with a thich creamy white head. Goes down a lot smoother than a Guiness. very maly and full bodied.

Mar 15, 2008 Reddish brown in color. Thick tan head that retains itself well and leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is very very roasty with notes of coffee and nuts. There’s also some sweet chocolate. Taste is similarly roasty. Lots of coffee with a little fruitiness. Very malt-dominated and chewy. Hard to tell if the mild bitterness in the finish is from hops or roasted malt. Mouthfeel is extremely creamy and velvety, but with enough warmth becomes a bit watery. A very tasty oatmeal stout, and one of SS’s best beers.

Mar 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours very dark brown with a thin, beige head. Aromas of raisins, and coffee. Big coffee and caramel flavors and, oddly enough, apples. Medium-thin on the palate. Good beer and if any stout is sessionable, this one is.

Mar 14, 2008 (bottle thanks OSLO) Pours dark brown with a tan head that lasts. Aroma is light berry, with some cocoa, toasted nut, and roasted malt. Taste is pretty sweet with chocolate and a very light taste of roasted malt on the finish. Pretty thin beer, and the flavors are pretty subdued.

Mar 14, 2008 [Bottle] Pours dark brown with a decent tan head. Aroma is cocoa, toasty malt, rather subdued. Taste is quite sweet up front, something metallic and the toasted malt again. Finish is rather unpleasant--lightly bitter and metallic. A little thin, but it is smooth. Very drinkable, but fairly average and a little sweet for me.

Mar 14, 2008 Very dark, creamy flavor with a good malt flavor. A hint of chocolate in there as well, definately can taste the oat flavor. Very good, not as good as the imperial stout
