4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
I dug this one, big time....has a really pleasant chocolaty body without being too heavy, some decent hops on the backside, and an overall great taste. It’s not too heavy, but I wouldn’t call it a thin stout either. IT has surprising body for the low alcohol content.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Bell’s. Now this was a tasty little treat. Medium bodied, nice and sweet. Even alongside the bigger stouts, this one held up on its own. Easy drinking, but plenty of character. Nice.

Glass at the Bell’s tap takeover at 4th Street Patio on 10/12/11. Excited to try this one again because it’s been 3 and a half years since the first and only time I’ve had it. Pours black with a thick brown chocolate milk head. Aroma is chocolate, cream and coffee bitterness. Roasty malt flavor with chocolate and cream before a bitter coffee finish. Think of Kalamazoo stout a little sweeter or Double Cream Stout a little roastier. Tasty!

Tap at Maduro in Madison, WI. Dark brown pour with a creamy head. Aroma of chocolate and roasted oats. Smooth palate. Taste is creamy chocolate and light roast. Some milky sweetness. Awesome.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A real solid oatmeal stout, or stout that is, the oatmeal part is pretty trivial in most if not all oatmeal stouts.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Served on draft at Maduro in Madison, WI at the GTMW pre-party. Pours a very dark brown color with a large creamy tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of big roasted malts, nuts, oats and smoke. The taste is rich roasted malts, coffee, oats, nuts and a bitter hop finish. Medium bodied. Damn good.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap at Bell’s. Aroma: Intense burnt toast and dark chocolate. Sublime. Appearance: Pitch black, small brown head. Taste: Oats is nicely integrated with the caramel and maple sweetness. Palate: Full bodied, light carbonation. Very smooth. Overall: One of the oatmeal stout I’ve had.
