Very dark walnut brown, surprisingly lively bubbly head that requires three installments in the pour to avoid spillage. Mouthfeel is smooth and slightly creamy despite such an effervescent intro. Aroma is of rich roast with elements of chocolate and coffee, and a hint of smoke. The palate has no smoke at all, with a sweet roasted character and soundly bitter finish. Very nice.

Bottle from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. Poured a black color with a tan head. Smelled of sweet chocolate and coffee. If you like sweet this beer it for you. Sweet chocolate and oatmeal dominated the flavor. A smooth medium-bodied beer. WOW!!

I had this pegged for a sweet stout. I could taste the sweet chocolate and hints of oatmeal. Very nice flavor and excellent palate. This is a smooth drinking, light stout. I don’t usually dig the thinner stouts, but this one was great.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Brown/black colored. Chocolate, malty, creamy and a bit roasted oats. Nice.

very very dark brown with a big tan head on it. semi sweet, not too bitter. goes down smooth but still has enough carbonation, it isn’t flat at all. i hate flat stouts! nice roasted flavor. very solid beer from a good brewery. i still need to try their ESB!

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Black with lasting tan ring (not sure about my glasses right now). Nice tangy oatmeal and chocolate aroma. Roasted chocolate and tangy dark fruit with medium bitterness lingering. Medium body and medium carbo. Could use a little less carbo. Stlll, very tasty. Better than I remembered.
