zach8270 (1404), Henrietta, New York, USA Oct 8, 2005 (bottle - 12 oz) Part of the 12 Beers of Winter Pack, 2005. Dark black pour with a thick and puffy brown head. Very nice oatmeal, chocolate and malty aroma. The taste is very smooth and a nice mixture of sweet malts, chocolate and a touch of toffee. Very smooth finish. Quite good. cjw163 (109), hummelstown, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 31, 2008 12oz bottle from winter variety pack.
Let me start by saying not too bad. very dark pour with a tan head. slightly bitter with a slightly chalky taste. I don’t taste any chocolate. Will drink again. BEERGUY007 (169), Scotia, New York, USA Feb 9, 2008 12 ounce bottle from the winter box. Pours black, nice color, a little head not much, could have been more. Sweet like it should be but it did’t cloy. Nice and thick mouth feel, not the thickest Ive had but still full which was nice. Not the heaviest Ive had either, I like them more like a meal in a bottle, but this one was good. dlovell2 (102), Columbia, Maryland, USA Mar 8, 2008 Came in the 12 beers of winter varity pack. Black with a tan head. Chocolate aroma. Chocolate and roasted malt taste with slight apperance from hops at end. guzzler67 (1134), Hanover, Maryland, USA Dec 3, 2007 Opague appearance with a large, chestnut colored head and very good lacing. Chocolate malt aroma with a hint of coffee. Earthy, nutty, mildly sweet, roasted malt taste. Smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel, but gentle on the palate. Finish sticks around for awhile. A good, easy drinking outmeal stout.
