Commercial Description:
Oak-aged oatmeal stout as dark in color as deep space. Again Obovoid on oak adds earthy character to the roasted notes and bittersweet chocolate finish derived from the black and chocolate malts.

Deep black with nice tan head that has good lacing and longevity. Aroma is slight of oak, roasted malt and slight alcohol. Flavor is toasted and roasted malt, a little biscuit. A little oak comes through as well. A decent impy stout but since it is suppose to be aged in oak, I would like more oak flavor.

Tap at HDG. Black colour with a thick tan head. Fairly hoppy aroma. Resiny hops and roasty dark chocolate. Flavour is also quite hoppy. Thinnish body but with lots of roasted malt bitterness and plenty of dry-hopped character. Very herbal bitterness. An unusual beer, but it works pretty well.

I like a nice deep black beer. Now this one isn’t Ten FIDY black or anything. Slightly lighter shade of colorlessness than that. But still nice.

22 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear brown color with a one and a half finger thick light tan head. Light spotty lacing. Aroma is light oak, herbal hops, and roasted malt. Flavor is woody (oak), light chocolate, and roasted malt. The oak lingers on the palate. Medium body. This beer is missing the body and character that so many bigger stouts have. Still, a decent beer.
