Nov 2, 2003 Updated: Nov 7, 2003#4 of my Stouts of November: Dark brown hue with a good creamy tan head and lace. Heavy malty nose with hints of burnt malt, nuts, caramel, dark chocolate, and strong coffee. Additionally detected some floral hops, grass, grapefruit, smoke and licorice. Very nice indeed. The taste is robust malt with a big hoppy bite on the finish, smoky as well. Well balanced, smooth and creamy feel. Full-bodied with alcohol mostly hidden. Soild stout with good character. Lush yet aggressive in it's presentation. Recommended.

Nov 2, 2003 A rich breamy chocolate taste, with a very strong coffee aftertaste that shows up late and then doesn't go away. More complex than the typical stout.

Oct 31, 2003 Roast and roast and roast - thats what this beer is about. Opaque red-brown with huge firm head that never dissipated, leaving almost 2 inches of foam standing in the bottom of my glass! Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate, with a hint a floral hops but the flavor is nearly all roast. Hints of bitter chocolate, some smoke and ash. Bitter finish with roast and hops. I'm feeling this as an excellent partner to smoked meats or fried fish.

Oct 29, 2003 Updated: Nov 13, 2003Nice rich stout. Coffee and chocolate blend more in this one then in most. Instead of having the two distinct flavors it has more of a cohesive mocha flavor. A slight cookie flavor is also present. Slight presents of alcohol makes this a nice winter warmer. Mocha oatmeal cookie in a bottle.

Oct 28, 2003 Gotta like that coffee/bitter chocolate aroma. Similar flavor, but a little bit more coffee than I'd expect from an oatmeal stout.

Oct 27, 2003 very nice. Very sweet with a thick malt and alchol flavor. Very creamy. Gets even sweeter after the first few sips as the hops and choclate come out.

Oct 26, 2003 An excellent stout. Great tasting - slightly bitter with just a hint of sweetness. One of the darkest beers I've ever seen - I held my glass up to the light and couldn't see anything through it - cool.

Oct 22, 2003 Poured a brown color, not opaque with a small tan head that left nice lacing. Had a roasted hop aroma that also had some chocolate included there. It had tastes of chocolate, coffee, some hops and roasted malts and a creamy mouthfeel. Hops were very noticable in this one, and I like hops!
