Surprisingly rich and full-flavored after sampling some of their other light/appease-the-masses offerings. Rich malty, roasty aroma. Velvety body thanks to oatmeal, very good balance of malt, roastiness and hop. Nice full body. Keep this one, kick up the Blind Tiger( a quite good, but underdone offering) and scrap everything else on the regular tap. You are in a great location - quit pandering to the masses. Make more beers like this and people will find them on reputation.

Sep 27, 2008 12oz via trade a ways back. Pours black with a light brown head. Nose is sweet with big coffee notes. Taste is sweet and slightly chocolaty. It is just ok.

Aug 23, 2008 Strong Coffee and Malt - I really like this flavor - very similar to the Bourbon Barrel Aged Oatmeal - (I will have to try the two at the same time to compare) I think I liked the flavor of the Bourbon Aged better. This is a good brew

Jul 18, 2008 Mild burnt/roast malt, chocolate, coffee....all fairly subdued. The body is black with a mocha colored, thin head. Fairly strong coffee, mild chocolate. Sustained roastiness through the whole flavor range. Not a wower, but not at all a bad beer.

Jul 7, 2008 Dark pour with a brown crown of deliciousness. I have to thank Optigon again for this, that dude is one hell of a trader. I would never have tried an oatmeal stout otherwise. I loved this brew. Roasted malt, chocolate, lingering flavor on the palate and not overly thick as you would think. Very good.
