This beer had a pretty good aroma once it warmed up a little. It was served way too cold, but since I paced myself it got better as time passed. The color was dark with a dark head and the flavor was rich with chocolate and even some caramel hints. The flavor quickly died out which left me disappointed. A decent beer.

On tap@O’Brien’s: Black color, maybe a purplish tint with a frothy mocha head. Aroma is red wine with a hint of licorice. Flavor is strong port up front with some tangy sour cherry in the finish. Palate is smooth, but thin. Not much stout in the taste, but interesting and tasty.

Had this at the brewery with Fal Allen a couple months before he left. Nice oloroso and tawny port notes. The port stomps on the malt of this beer. would be better witha bigger stout. Still nice some malt balls and chocolate covered cherries flavors some vanilla and maple notes. just over the top port and tannins.

(draft) Black body topped by lovely creamy brown head. Aroma is medium sweet, port, roasty chocolate, light cherry (sour). Taste is medium sweet, port, sour cherry, finishing with roasty chocolate. Medium body. Interesting mix of flavors, not sure it wholly works.

Draft at Monks... Poured an opaque black color with a small tan head and hardly any lacing. Aroma of strawberry and cherry, very portish, light roast as well. Port was very pronounced, over took any idea this was once an oatmeal stout. Some roast and chocolate was noticed in the finish. A very nice stout, though I like the pre-barrel aged oatmeal stout just a tad better.
