4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20 TheBeerLover (1019) - DC Metro Area, USA - OCT 20, 2006
12 oz bottle. This beer pours to an ink black color, with a thick, dense, creamy tan head, and a soft carbonation. The nose on this beer is excellent, with lots of good aromas of bitter sweet chocolate, coffee, dark malts, and light roast. The palate is soft and full, with a really great silky and creamy mouth feel. Flavors of dark malt, dark chocolate, coffee, and light roasty flavor, glide over the tongue. This beer finishes with more of those wonderful dark chocolate and coffee flavors up front, then ends with some nice, herbal hop bitterness, and roasty flavor that lingers. Well done sweet/oatmeal stout, with good chocolate and coffee flavors. The oats in this beer gives this beer really good body and a creamy mouthfeel. Alaskan Brewing scores again.

Pours a two finger light tan head that fades to a ring leaving a little lace. Black color. Light carbonation and heavy bodied. Sweet malty nose. Starts sweet, malty and smooth, some nuttiness, finish has hints of bakers chocolate. $1.30 for a 12oz bottle from Liquid Solutions Tigard, Or.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 mcnally (114) - Burbank, California, USA - SEP 29, 2006
Not bold, nice easy flavor. Not much in terms of carbonation, so it’s easy to drink. The bottle says oatmeal stout, but I don’t find this beer any sweeter than a regular stout. Flavor of chocolate and coffee comes out much better when the beer warms up a bit. Oily texture, chocolate-covered coffee bean aroma. Diminishing head. Will buy again.

Nice toasty chocolate aroma. Nearly opaque brown with a substantial tan head. Starts with chocolate, moves on to very roasted malt. It has firm mouthfeel, and it is very smooth. Perhaps what Guiness should be. I think some coffee pops up after awhile, but the longterm effect is roasted malt. A little air in the mouth brings back the chocolate. Some sweetness also appears. This is somewhat complex.

12oz bottle poured a dark black color with a nice brown head. The aroma was roast and chocolate with a touch of coffee. The taste was heavily malted with no one malt overpowering. Nicely balanced for a stout witch is very surprising.
