3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Had this at Foam Fest in Little Rock last night. Given the atmosphere in which I tasted this I need a redo...I’d had a few by then, but it definitely was a pretty good stout.

Dark, clear brown/black. Big oatmeal and nut on the nose. Palate is huge...tons of oat, coffee and dark chocolate, with some vanilla. Finish is lingering. This would be a great winter warmer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft. Dark brown with a creamy dark tan head. Scent is dark roasty malts. Taste is chocolate, roasty and earthy.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 8/23/11
Aroma: The aroma has roasted, chocolate, and caramel malts, plus earthy notes
Appearance: This one pours a dark brown-black color, with no head or lace
Flavor: The taste is light roast and matly, it is fairly sweet with minimal bitterness to it
Palate: This one has a medium body and a somewhat creamy mouthfeel
Overall Impression:
Overall, I thought this was a pretty good sweet stout. It is fairly sweet, but not in such a way that it hurts the beer. It has a good sweetish finish to it. The flavor comes through on end palate. Up-front, it isn’t quite as flavorful. Solid stuff though.

[Nashville]–on tap-pours a light brown head and dark copper color. Aroma is rich dark malt-cocoa/some earthy hops. Taste is rich dark malt/oat-cocoa, secondary earthy hops. Creamy mouthfeel.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
on tap at the Little Rock location pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma is roasted grains and bitter chocolate. Flavor is toffee, roast, thin smoke and a strong bitter cocoa body that ends dry.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark brown with roast barley red hue transparent. Freshly milled chocolate roast grain nose that is quite pleasant--as if I am at the brew shop. Rather bland malt mix with some roastiness. This brew is reminiscent of an English Brown Porter/Brown Ale. It lacks the deep roast character one generally hopes and expects for the style.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Red-brown to black, spotty beige cover. Aroma is empty but some roast, chocolate. Taste is fuller, chocolate, caramel, some oatmeal smoothing body.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: FEB 6, 2012 Draft at the brewpub in Hillsboro Village, Nashville. Pours a clear dark brown with a half-inch tan head that laces the glass. Aroma of oats, chocolate, roasted malts, and a flavor that followed suit. Surprisingly light, syrupy, and watery. Re-Rate: I liked it better in Memphis. Oat and brown sugary sweetness comes through and has some balancing roastiness and even earthy hops present. Decent.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Had on tap with UTA at the NCAA Tournament. Very filling. Definite Oatmeal along with subtle coffee.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft Memphis. Dark brown almost black with a 2 finger head and pretty lace. Cocoa and oatmeal aroma, with a bit of bitter chocolate and smooth cream flavor. Very quaffable.
