Beer_Hawk (767), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Feb 5, 2007 Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this bottle with us at the Nashville Tasting! Poured a black color with a tan head that left light lacing. The aroma was somewhat woody with some smoked malts. The flavor found an even mix of hops and malts with a hint of sweet fruits. Light and slightly watery for a stout. Sweet aftertaste.
chicagodri (553), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 12, 2008 A solid stout. I don’t know if I would go with the claim that it is one of the most complex stouts on the market today, but it is solid. Roasted malts, oat, and a little chocolate flavor and aroma. Good flavor, but it actually seemed a little thin. Still worth a try. BEERGUY007 (180), Scotia, New York, USA Oct 11, 2008 If you haven’t had this one, you should try it. It’s what an Oatmeal stout should be. Nice and dark, thick and smooth mouthfeel. First time I saw it was yesterday and had to pick one up. The only one I think is better is Brown’s Oatmeal stout. Which by the way if you like oatmeal stout’s you should try that one too. buzzoven (154), Japan Oct 11, 2008 What a great beer this is. Had been seeing this on the shelf at Tanakaya for months now and finally decided to give it a try. Cracked this open while at home halfway through watching A Clockwork Orange and enjoyed it immensly. Body was very black with a good-sized off white head all cushiony and billowy. Chocolate smell lifted up to my nose from the pint glass and I took the first sip. Wonderful creamy rich mouthfeel showcasing a well balanced flavour selection of chocolates, roasted barley, coffee, chocolate ice cream, hint of vanilla and cherry, and some of that oatmeal in there as well. Finish was long lasting and kept me thirsty for the next sip. Looking forward to drinking this one again. fidel (211), Livermore, California, USA Oct 8, 2008 Dark brown/black, roasted malts, coffee, oats, little chocolate, little wood, little molasses. A little thin. Praetorian (58), Los Angeles, California, USA Oct 6, 2008 Black in color with a medium sized, light brown head with little lacing. The aroma is of turkish coffee, chocolate, oak, and molasses. The flavor is suprisingly sweet throughtout with notes of molasses, coffee and chocolate. The palate is watery. It’s not a bad stout, but the texture was a big let down and I felt the flavor was somewhat bland...decent I guess, but nothing special.
