This is one of my favourite oatmeal stouts, essentially on par with Samuel Smith’s. I’ve been drinking stouts as long as I’ve been drinking beer (Watney’s cream stout was one of the first beers I drank regularly), but it took me a number of tries to like oatmeal stouts. This one is incredible. It’s dark, opaque, almost black brown with a thick light brown head that lasts long and leaves pretty good lacing. The aroma is of yeast dough, heavy & toasty. The taste is of thick malt, fresh toast, dark chocolate fudge sauce, fading to a mild coffee hint. It is fairly sweet with only the faintest bitterness. The palaet is thick and full. The result: great, full, satisfying flavour and drinkability.

Of the four or five stouts that I have tried in the last six months, this is by far my favorite. It has a delicate sweetnes that is not overpowered by the hops.

Like a blackhole it's so dark. Had a head like lambs wool. Malty, earthy and chocolatey aroma. Heavy, mmm, velvety, mmm. Yum.

Dark chocolate brown with a thick tan head and cascading carbonation. Smell of coffee and caramel and very mild hops. t Tastes of caramel, smoke, chocolate, licorice(spelling?), vanilla, roasted malt, slight hop. Finishes dry with a good aftertaste. This I would take over a Guiness anyday. Very good full flavor stout.

This was a kick ass oatmeal stout! Very refreshing and quite smooth. Nice creamy head with a very flavorfull palate, I almost like this one better than the Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout. I enjoyed the lightness to this stout and I will drink it again.

A truly fine drink, I belive oatmeal stouts are quite great overall. Not Sam Smith but damn good. Stouts are a bit heavy by natuire but their creamyness make them a treat.

Soft and smooth. Coffee aroma and flavor makes it almost dessert like. The more you have the better it gets. Enjoy this slowly in front of a fire.

Enjoyed this beer while eating a hearty chicken-pot pie. Doesn’t get much better than that. Enjoyed the balance of dry malts with its sweet taste and mild aroma, and was extremely impressed by the color; dark black.
