Tastes included coffee, smoke, and chocolate. jimmyh221 (157), Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 20, 2005 A nice looking beer. Rich in color and taste. It actually tastes a bit like coffee. Philip (436), Illinois, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 15, 2005 Sampled on tap at the Great Taste of the Midwest, Madison, 8/13/2005. The big surprise for me was how little I liked this beer. Its okay, but nothing exceptional in my mind. The flavor was fairly uni-dimensional oatmeal with some sour cream, and honestly, rather watery. Not much of an alcohol body,and now that I see that the ABV is under 5.0, my notes makes sense to me. I walked away wondering how this merited a high score. GrainBeltGuzzler (249), Goodhue, Minnesota, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 27, 2005 was at the staghead looking for the amber special release but they still had this instead, looks good smells pretty good, tastes rather sour though, I hate to rate on what I know was a tap that just wasn’t getting used enough but it is all I have to go on, sorry summit for the bad press, but maybe you need places that push your product more Indy (87), Hopkins, Minnesota, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Mar 4, 2005 Truly tragic to see this one go the way of the dodo. Then again, I’m glad I was able to have some at all. This is one of the best stouts I’ve ever had...like Guiness with better aroma and more crispness.
I really hope it comes around again.

I am truly sadden to see this go in March. A very smooth and creamy stout and a great alternative to Guinness for the people who are beginning to try new styles. It is only available on nitro-tap.
Had on tap at Durty Nellie’s incutrav (576), Woodbury, Minnesota, USA

Hadnt had a oatmeal brew before but this went down smooth. super dark, and tumbles when poured. The head on it is even good, you could cut slices of it and give it to your buddies! obisbeer (558), Barcelona, Spain
