| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 15, 2009 Nice appearing near black, brownish pour. Sizeable cream colored head. Nitro-like head though this was on a traditional tap. Aroma was roasted malt and oatmeal with hints of chocolate. Very creamy medium body. Taste was a great balance of chocolate, roast malt. Slight coffee finish. One of the best oatmeal stouts I’ve had in a long time, everyone has gone to much more aggressive style stouts. A drinkable, flavorful session stout.
The best beer I had all weekend, better than the Foothills Peoples Porter, which was still pretty good. chandler0201 (341), Durham, North Carolina, USA

Aroma of malts and caramel, some chocolate. Flavor of chocolate, dark with roasted nuts and some coffee. Thick but still watered down enough to be drinkable. kp (8399), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
