Much better than the other stout. Some coffee right from the start. Their thickest beer by far. A slightly sweet aroma.

Blackish pour, low head, and lacing. Dry, nutty, aroma. Slight worcestershire flavor, surprisingly highly carbonated for a stout. Some woody, nutty notes. A low coffee undertones. Kind of weak, but I enjoyed the coffee flavors. Not bad for a local microbrew.

(Tap) Pours a dark brown color, although not opaque. Thin tan head. Light aroma of grain and roasted nut. Taste includes toffee and very light oatmeal. Light bodied. Rather disappointing overall...

Tastes better than the Bricktown Brewery stout, but not as good as the Coach’s stout. Black body, almost no head. Sweet and thing with some barely detectable oatmeal in the background.

Draft at the brewpub, 11/15/06: Reddish black with a sticky but thin, quickly dying foamy/fizzy head. Vague roasty aroma. Likewise a light flavor palate ... oak, smoke, toasted malt. Bit on the light side for an "oatmeal stout", but not too bad.

Probably the best most flavorful of the Belle Isle lineup. Looks dark and rich but those flavors only linger for but a few seconds. Flavors of cheap coffe and bad chocolate slightly dominate. I think these guys use the same hops in all their beers.

Draft at the brewpub: poured dark brown with ruby highlights. You can still see through it. Mild roasted malt aroma with some olive juice. Body is fairly thin. Flavor is roasted malts and a little chocolate. Slightly sour. Not too awfully bad but kind of thin.

Sampled on draft at Belle Isle. Pours dark ruby with a scattered head. Too light for a stout. Nice coffee aroma is followed by a quite pleasant coffee/chocolate flavor. Balanced, Medium-light body and moderately carbonated. Pretty well-made considering the legal limitations imposed on this brewer due to its locale. I’d drink it again.

Deep brown color but it was poured with no head. Do they teach the servers to do this on purpose? This one smells very metallic, with coffee tones present, but absolutly no aromas resembling oatmeal. It's a very thin stout, almost porteresque.
