| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 10, 2007 Bottle, pours a deep black-brown with a light brown, foamy head that leaves a medium to heavy lacing behind. Sweet, chocolate aroma with hints of roasted malts. Flavor is sweet with chocolate coffee taste and some toastiness. The body is heavy, smooth and creamy. Finishes rather clean with a slight bitterness. shintriad (698), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 9, 2007 This is retired? Bad call. Still my fave oatmeal stout. Still a simple, delicious dark-brown beer with a nice foamy head, bold dry roasted chocolaty flavour, and a clean slightly sour finish. ChrisJ (100), Warrenton, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 7, 2007 Pours in deep brown, almost black. Opaque. Nice creamy tan head leaves heavy lacing on the glass. Aroma has notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with hints of roasted malts, chocolate, and licorice. Medium to full body, very smooth. Slight taste of alcohol. Mild slightly bitter finish. Nice stout a tad simple for my taste. Floback (341), Naples, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 7, 2007 Updated: Jul 9, 2008Pours big n’ black with a tiny off-white head. Disheveled patterns of tan lace. Nose is roasted chocolate and teriyaki. Taste is roasted malts and barley with coffee beans, wood, earth, and syrup. Subtle notes of smoked green apples and ash with a metallic aftertaste. Full body and medium carbonation. Roasty qualities in flavor diminish over time. Not as smooth as anticipated. A crisper finish than the average stout but with an unusually high level of carbonation for the style. BallyLoser (134), Redmond, Washington, USA

This has an earthiness to it with a definate chewiness. I also picked up some smokiness to it. It has very little hoppiness to it. ChristianScheffel (4689), Odense, Denmark
