Aug 30, 2008 The color is an oily black with a thin tan head and leaves some spots along the sides of the glass. The nose is full of roasted oats and dark malt. the flavor is very robust and bitter leaving a lasting impression on your palate. You can really taste the chocolate and roasted malt in each sip which is very pleasing. Overall it has a good amount of carbonation and a nice creamy finish with a good texture.

Aug 29, 2008 From a 11.5 fl. oz. bottle that pours very dark brown and slightly red. There’s a nice puffy brown head that stays around for a while. Aroma of hops and cocoa. Not a heavy texture. Flavor also has elements of chocolate or cocoa and hops. The hops are not overwhelming but they are noticeable. I liked this one.

Aug 28, 2008 12oz bottle courtesy of xmarcnolanx. Pours a completely opaque midnight black with a 2 finger tan head. Incredible lacing with this one. Nose is roasted oats, dark chocolate and espresso. Taste smoked malt, toasted ashy malt, bakers chocolate and a bitter black coffee finish. Full, creamy mouth feel. Really good – thanks Marc!

Aug 28, 2008 (Canada) Pours a dark brown color almost black with zero head. The aroma is of dark malts, oatmeal, and vanilla. The taste is of dark chocolate, malts, and cherries. Mouthfeel is strong like coffee with a lingering sour finish. This oatmeal stout is very intense so beware !!!

Aug 27, 2008 Nitro tap at Beer Bistro in Toronto. Silky smooth and creamy. Milk chocolate with burnt malt and then coffee. Almost meaty with the oats. Thick and sweet yet dry. Super.

Aug 16, 2008 Tried this on several different occasions and was disappointed both times. Pours a dark brown/black brew with a one finger creamy tan head. The nose is sweet, earthy, smells like it would be "English", buttery, diacetyl?, kind of a turnoff. The flavor is very similar, buttery/diacetyl feel, lightly sweet, some light bakers chocolate and coffee. The mouthfeel wasn’t as full and smooth as I would have expected. Overal, I just didn’t really enjoy it.
