ksacdonovan (2), Sacramento, California, USA does not count Nov 13, 2007 I discovered this beer at my local Trader Joes. It is not the typical stout, the coffee overtones and smooth taste make it a very drinkable beer- almost to the point where I must pound down two in short time because it is so delicious. Definately my favorite beer with Sierra Nevada Pale ale in second. I have also recently enjoyed Blue Moon. mikeben (335), Naperville, Illinois, USA Oct 22, 2003 Quite a good beer. I like Oatmeal Stouts as a rule and this is no exception/ A really good flavor of chocolate and coffe are prevelent. A bit hoppy which does not work for this style. Overall worthy and cheap so why not try it? deltamarik (50), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Aug 9, 2008 One of the advantages of moving to the Midwest: being able to get this at Trader Joe’s for $6/6-pack. You won’t find a better beer for the price. Maybe not the equal of a Sam Smith, but on a grad student budget, it’s nice to know that someone’s looking out for you. DubC5000 (143), San Diego, California, USA Aug 8, 2008 Deeply brown and red to the eye. Malt, coffee, sugarcane and maple on the nose, with a densely coffee malt flavor; aftertastes of dark chocolate and oatmeal. Very smooth, with neither excessive bite nor slime. Chewy. Extremely enjoyable, great as a late dessert with or without a brownie. sethdude (518), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Dec 12, 2004 Damned tastey, I think. Pours a pitch black, oily tan head and great lacing. Aroma is coffe and nutty, with a tinge of chocolate. Flavor is chocolate, then coffee, then a pleasant tobacco bit with a pleasant dry finish. Better than I expected.
