On tap-poured black w/a moderate head. Standard Stout aroma, Standard Stout flavor; coffee, roasted malt, a little chocolate, a little interest. Just thought this was very average/boring. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing to make it stand out either. You can drink it, but there is a lot better stuff out there. Thin, watery finish.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle thanks to Mark. Pours a dark brown color with a medium light-brown head. The aroma is very nice; loads of coffee, rich burnt malts, and lots of nutty notes. The flavor was also very good; up front coffee and rich chocolates, some roasted malts and a dry sweet finish. The oats and roasted flavors, along with the nice ABV add a real heft to this beer. Very nice. The only critique I have is it is a bit too thin. But very nice overall.

Sep 24, 2008 V - medium body pour, dark but noticeably brown. Thin tan head with a slight lacing<br />
A - rich coffee aroma which overpowers most everything else<br />
T - coffee up front, with malts coming through next and then the taste fades into a watery feel with some final coffee bitters. Don’t get much chocolate here.<br />
P - Watery for a stout

Sep 13, 2008 12oz draft at the Vermont building at the Big E fair in West Springfield, MA. Each of the New England States has a large building full of vendors from that state. The Vermont building had Otter Creek/ Wolavers. 5 dollars for a good beer isn’t bad at a place like this (food, drinks, and arts and craft crap are all overpriced.) It was sweet and chocolaty with no sign of the 5.9% abv. Not bad for a plastic keg-cup beer. The organic ingredients are a plus. I could hear the drummer from "The Monkeys" playing with his band in the background as I sipped on this one.

Sep 4, 2008 bottle: pours a dark cola brown with a huge tan head. aroma has a nice oatmeal smell that blends well with the chocolate, decent toffee malts also i really like the oats in this one. flavour is a bit on the roast side with some good bittering chocolate the oats seem to hide in the flavours but add just a hint of nuttiness. a good sweet stout.
