| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 25, 2008 Nice Beer! Let us start with the appearance. I had a bottle which I poured into an English Pint glass, the beer is the darkest of browns(desc says red, I can’t see it) with a nice cream head but loses a point because the head doesn’t last long. The aroma is of chocolate and coffee same as the taste which is quite beautiful, but not the best. The palate was slightly disappointing but maybe if I can find a tap that would solve this problem. Overall a Nice beer. Worth the buy. Beerdedone (1885), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 17, 2008 Updated: Jun 4, 2008On tap at Oldsmar Tap House. Nitro keg, so the usual waterfall pour. Pitch black. Very creamy white head. A pretty ridiculous amount of very thick lacing. Roasted malt aromas, grain, caramel, slight chocolate, and an overall feeling of cereal. Sweet, grainy malt flavors. Big-time oatmeal. Chocolate, too. Body is smooth and creamy. Easy drinking, and balanced well. Beer2000 (1828), Kristiansand, Norway

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 8, 2008 Bottle. Completely opaque dark brown with a small brown head. Sweet aroma of toasted malt.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 7, 2008 Pours a deep black, with a nice thin tan head. Aroma is of dark roasted malts, oatmeal and cream. The flavor is pure roasty malts and oatmeal - tastes sort of like a nice bowl of Quakers in the morning. The mouthfeel is far too thin, however, and really detracts from the overall experience. Pretty good brew, but not nearly as good as Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout.
