Poured out a nice dark, somewhat thick. Formed a nice beige foam head. Aroma of lovely chocolates, coffee and malts. Taste of burnt coffee, chocolates and hops. Was very yummy. Well done my British friends! A very tastey beer, would love to try it on tap.

Bottle. Strong oatmeal and chocolate malt aroma. Dark brown/black color with moderate head. Nice flavor of chocolate and oatmeal malt with a smoky finish. Fairly light but overall an excellent beer.

Opaque dark brown/black body with a finger of tan head. Smells like chocolate malt. Tastes roasty and sweet, with chocolate malt quite apparent. Full bodied. Tasty, but not as robust as Samel Smith’s...

Bottle. Retired? Wow. Glad I got to this sooner than find out I can’t get it. Creamy, flavor. Dark color, with some grain and chocolate flavors.

On tap at Stout NYC -- nice and creamy half inch tan head lasting half a pint, and a shiny ebony hue (in the dimly lit beer bar). First pull savor the fine roast aroma and taste of a nicely balanced sweet and silky (and somewhat malty) oatmeal stout. Very nice indeed.

Bottle. Black body with subtle dark brown glints and a thick brown foamy head. Lovely malty/hoppy aroma with roasted cereals and coffeeish notes. Well balanced malty/hoppy taste that carries roasted malt hints. Ends with a long bitter/roasty finish. Very good example of Oatmeal Stout.

Aroma= light toast/roast no hops Appearance= Dark brown to dark garnet, nice thick lt. brown head Flavor= Well Balanced, touch of carmel sweetness moving into a mild roast and finishes with a light toast flavor...great Palate= overall pretty light for a stout very drinkable some silkiness to start but carbonation tickles near end OverAll= A very very good Oatmeal stout. Exceptionally balanced, complex malt overtones yet simple flavors. Great beer
