badlizard (2324), Berkeley, California, USA Apr 28, 2009 Reddish brown with a creamy tan head. Sweet malty aroma with mild chocolate and lactos notes. Hophead22 (1056), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA Apr 23, 2009 Tap at the Corona location. Deep dark mahogony, almost black with a tan head. Very mild aroma, clean and roasty. Very smooth, creamy mouthfeel, light roastiness, very drinkable. Good stuff. alexanderj (2204), Chino Hills, California, USA Sep 21, 2008 ON cask at Taps; I am surprised all these beers don’t have more ratings. Color was pretty nice; a darkish, red tinted brown. Aroma of caramel, oats, vanilla, lactic sweetness, wood and cocoa. Flavor had a good amount of sweetness, oats, caramel, cocoa and vanilla. Not too strong of roasted presnce. Good for the style. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 12/03/2006

goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA Feb 8, 2007 Poured a lightly hazed black color with a very tan head. The aroma had mild notes of ash and roast with a hint of chocolate. The flavor was of roasted malt and mild cola notes. Fruity toward the back and a dry finish. JohnC (2227), Mission Viejo, California, USA Nov 9, 2006 I had this on draft at Taps’ brewpub.
It pours jet black with a thin tan head. The flavor is dry, roasty with hints of oats. Very smooth and tasty. chargerfanjess (116), San Diego, California, USA Apr 5, 2006 Finished off the brunch with this one. Very dark almost jet black with nice tan head. Very smooth slight oat flavor but probably got that from name. Nice roasted flavor and no bitterness and no hops...not that its a good thing that there were no hops but made it real easy to drink for brunch. Could be because I had this after an IPA and a ESB...I’ll be back to this joint! anaheim1983 (111), Anaheim, California, USA Jan 9, 2006 Dark brown with a tan head. Unsweetened chocolate, coffee and some berry/cherry in the nose. Roasty, sweet and a hop bite towards the finish, more slightly bitter . A bit of a mineraly aftertaste. Simple and easy drinking. Great palate!
