ohnoitskristin (62), Santa Cruz, California, USA Jul 31, 2006 Very overall pleased with this one. The aroma wasn’t as pleasant as the taste-- oatmeal and a nutty chocolate. This ran through the taste as it poured very dark with a tan head, enjoyed the deep chocolate and oatmeal hint. Reads exactly how it tastes. mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 30, 2006 Bottle. Pours a deep black body with a soapy tan head. The aroma is oat-like with pleasant chocolate notes and nuts. Dry roasted chocolate and nutty smoothness. Finishing with malt bitterness. Tasty yet straightforward. GreatLibations (1440), Last Supper, Arizona, USA Jul 24, 2006 Updated: May 11, 2007Pours black w/ a medium sized, semi creamy froth. Head retention is decent w/ spattered residual lacing. Aroma is weak w/ malted cocoa, roasted coffee and nuts. Medium nectar w/ mellow residual effers. Flavors are thick black coffee, cocoa, w/ just a hint of oatmeal. Very well balanced. Squeaky clean, soft and creamy on the palate. Overall: Robust w/ it’s big roast component yet smooth. Good stuff. Highly recommended. scoobyluv (486), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA Jul 15, 2006 first thing i noticed when opening this bottle was that it smelled like hops. a pleasant surprise to say the least. i was a little disappointed that it poured a bit thin with a minimal head. on first taste, your tastebuds are drawn in by hops and soothed by a smooth dark chocolate and malt aftertaste that lingers pinkzambia (986), Boise, Idaho, USA Jun 20, 2006 Bottle: Black with light brown persistent head. It also has a nice layer of lacing all over. Rich malt aromas of chocolate & toffee. This brew tastes like a great candy bar. It has a great finish - thin as expected with oatmeal stouts, a little tang/bitterness and smooth. Yummy. footbalm (1218), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Jun 19, 2006 Bottle from odeed,thanks Jacob. Roasty toasty malts with lots of chocolate and coffee. A very nice brew. slides down very flavorful. Has a very nice feel and rich flavor. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Jun 8, 2006 Run of the mill stout. Pours black with slight head. Typical roasted coffee type taste. Not bad but nothing special. billk (300), Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA Jun 7, 2006 Tap. Ultra dark brown with diminishing tan/brn head, fair lace. Aroma is rich, creamy, dark roast malt & grain w moderate hops. Nice, fresh, clean, silky rich flavor as described above. I had this after a pils which made it seem fuller bodied at first but as I drank it it developed a bit of a thinness on the palate. Very nice flavor however. A pleasant oatmeal stout to drink, balanced very nicely with the hop bitterness.
