Nutty, roasted aroma. Mild mocha chocolate and light breakfast blend coffee with creamer. Hint of oily alcohol. Nutty and excellent. The appearance is mahogany red-brown. Deep and opaque. Thin but creamy head. The flavor is hazelnut and mild dark chocolate. A bourbon finish. More smoky as it warms up, also raisins/dates. The palate is smooth and a little oily. Very easy going down. Almost a nut brown. Very delicious and easy to drink.

Pours a dark brown with a frothy, but quickly diminishing tan head. The aroma is mostly chocolaty, with slight roast, smoke, and incense. The flavor is very similar to a robust porter. Comes off very English. Roasty, and smokey, but without a whole lot of body, especially for an oatmeal. Sweet overall, with slight hops on the finish.

Reviewed 12/31/2009 (Bottle): Pours a dark black almost color body, average frothy, diminishing. Sweet oatmeal chocolate aroma. Some dusty hops maybe. Creamy body, some almost burnt coffee aftertaste. Chocolately oatmeal taste. Chalky chocolate mouthfeel. Pretty good. A little cigarette ash taste as it warms more.

12oz bottle. Rating #838. Dark black pour with just a little light showing through. The head was light tan and a little thin, but it lasted quite awhile. Very light roasted aroma, a little light for stout, at least for me. Light flavor at first and then it hits me with a slight burnt roastiness in the finish, it was very smooth though, velvety, very nice. (1113)

Bottle. Pours black with a thick tan head that has plenty of staying power. Aroma consists of chocolate, roasty, caramel, coffee, and nuts. The taste is fairly sweet with a little bitterness and a good amount of sourness that sticks to the palate as it finishes.

22 oz. Deep brown/black with a khaki/tan head that is very thick and has excellent retention. Fruity aroma with a slight grainy, malt sweetness. Has a slight tangerine fruity flavor to it, a nice mellow sweetness, little bitterness. Real low carbonation, medium body with a smooth texture.

Bomber. Pours jet black with a pleasant roasted malt aroma. It’s cool, creamy and a little smoky at the end just like a great oatmeal stout should be. With its modest alcohol level, I could easily knock bottles of this stuff back all night.
