GMCC2181 (846), Bear, Delaware, USA Aug 25, 2009 From bigpatmcnelis... Poured into a snifter, dark in color nice one finger head. Good aroma of oats and coffee. Taste is the same, nice oat, roasted malt, coffee taste. Nice texture, perfect beer for its style. Overall a very enjoyable stout. Thanks Pat brosen561 (19), Minnesota, USA Aug 24, 2009 12oz bottle. Celebrating my 21st birthday rating my first purchase. Pours a solid black with a thick, creamy head. Has a sweet toffee like aroma. Good, thick mouthfeel that lasts on the tongue with a hint of hops on the backend cut by the brown sugar/chocolaty sweetness. I was looking for a good oatmeal stout and found one. Nena (120), Seattle, Washington, USA Aug 24, 2009 Nearly black with a fairly thin tan head. Very rich, toasty flavor and rather filling. Aroma reminds me slightly of licorice. Finishes bitter and slightly chocolatey. Very solid oatmeal stout. Hopper (277), San Antonio, Texas, USA Aug 21, 2009 A dark brown to black beer with a 2 finger head. Aroma was fruity,& slightly roasty. The taste was silky in the mouth. Do I taste oatmeal? It is a good beer. Pinball (2693), Allerød, Denmark Aug 20, 2009 55cl bottle

flavor is roasted brown sugar, roasted grains, coffee, roasted grains.
palate is a bit watery.
taste is good, especially considering the low abv. Duhast500 (176), , Massachusetts, USA Aug 19, 2009 Poured from a 1pt bottle into a glass pint.
The color is A very deep dark black with a light brown foamy head.
The smell is of chocolate, a little toffee and roasted malts
The taste is smooth, creamy, a malty flavor is very deep in the background with a toffee tone.
This beer is quite smooth. Goes down real nice and is one the best stouts I’ve had. The overall feel is strong but does not overpower.
drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 18, 2009 Single bottle into an English pint glass. Creamy and delicious - absolutely one of my standby oatmeal stouts. direwolf9 (29), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 17, 2009 A very good stout. Looks good and has a nice aroma. Not quite up to the standards of the Stone Imperial Russian or the Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti but pretty darn good. Then again it contains half the alcohol and has a much thinner mouthfeel. But still worth a try by all means.
