Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, and burnt chocolate. Flavor is quite sweet, some bakers chocolate, roasted almonds, and a delicate bitterness at the end. Very enjoyable.

Aroma is chocolate with a lot of burnt flavors many even smokey. Flavor is slight to moderately aciditic. Finish is tart for an oatmeal stout, but good never the less!

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 22, 2005 Deep translucent red-brown, medium tan head. Aroma of rich chocolate, toast, coffee, and hints of soy and molasses. Nice creamy body with layers of rich roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. A tad sweet with some residual burnt sugars lurking beneath the roasts. This is a very nice sweet stout, medium-bodied, complex, and smooth.

Right up there with Sam Smiths. Very malty sweet with delicious chocolate notes. Since I have gotten into stouts, its all about Dark Chocolate now Similar to other Troegs in some ways. .

Very little head but consistent lacing. Aroma, is malty sweet. Initial taste is noticible alcohol, but finish is bitter cocoa. Taste is oaky, roasty and all together ok. Good stout but definitely not my favorite of the season. zach8270 (2129), Henrietta, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 20, 2005 Updated: Dec 6, 2008[12 oz. bottle] Deep brown/black pour with not much of a head to speak of. Looks like oil. Very inviting and rich aroma of roasted malt, coffee and sweet oatmeal. Smooth and rich taste. Begins with a smooth and creamy coffee and oatmeal combination and goes smoothly to a malty and coffee middle with a semi-sweet coffee finish. Very good quality stout. crzybob77 (528), Richmond, Virginia, USA
