bomber. Very dark brown/black pour....brown head dissipated quickly. Roasty nose, well somewhat roasty. Light bitterness in the flavor, some chocolate, maybe a tinge of Maxwell house...meh. Light bodied too...basically light all the way around. Not horrible by any stretch, but not worth the trip either. Probably not one I’d buy again.

Aug 12, 2008 22oz Bottle Pours out a back/brown topped with a tan head. Aroma of coffee, some chocolate and plenty of smoke. Tast nice and smooth. With some nice sweetness. Plenty of the roast malt also that smoke on the end.

Aug 8, 2008 Pours mostly black with a touch of light getting through and a short lived beige head. Smell is coffee, ashy and burnt malt. Taste is roasty and ashy and burnt, again, and with some nice coffee flavor too. Not getting much creaminess from the oatmeal and its a bit bubbly for the style, but still tasty. A bit drying.
Nice beer.

Aug 6, 2008 Opaque dark brown-black with very large off-white head, looks luscious. Rich coffee and chocolate aromas. Roasty like a mocha ganache. Maybe some cherry in the background. Very nice, mellow, smooth flavors with nice lasting dark chocolate finish. Soft palate. Nice, light impy that actually manages to feel refreshing.

does not count  Aug 4, 2008 Not quite opaque, which I found odd for this style. I got quite a bit of vanilla in the nose with the oak coming out nicely and not overdone. Poured up nicely with a rich, decent head. I was a bit disappointed upon tasting this as I found it a bit lacking in complexity and the finish a bit thin with a slight lingering sweetness. Overall, not bad, but not quite what I was expecting.

Aug 3, 2008 Pours an opaque near-black colour with an ultra-dense beige head that leaves nice lacing. The nose is rich with milk and dark chocolate, vanilla, heavily roasted malts, oats and some citric hops. The flavour brings forth rich chocolate and coffee goodness, dried fruits, booze, oats and some vegetable-like hops (diacetle?). The initial taste is a little muted, but nice roasty coffee flavours stand out in the finish. Mid-palate, the dried fruit and chocolate flavours are most dominant. The aftertaste is bitter cocoa. The mouthfeel is a bit watery, but the flavours are nice and complex. Very nice.
