Jan 14, 2008 Hazy dark chestnut. Straightup fudge & coffee nose. Somewhat light "foreign" body with vague icing sugar sweetness. Very nutty. A little underwhelming.

Feb 12, 2008 (22oz bottle) Very dark brown topped by persistent and slightly rocky tan head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is moderately sweet, coffee/roast, fudge/milk chocolate, confectionery sugar. Taste is roast/coffee, some nut/salty, cocoa/chocolate, earthy, light wood. Some earthiness, but most of the bitterness is from the coffee maltiness. Smooth medium body, no sign of alcohol.

Dec 15, 2007 Pours a semi-transparent dark mahogany with a spotty-lacing light tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet and earthy dark malts with a touch of roast. Starts with some nice dark caramel and roasted malts and a touch of licorice. FInishes thinner and dark chocolatey sweet with some nice roasty notes. A pretty good stout.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle: Pours a black color with an off-white head and nice lacing. The nose is ripe and roasty with plenty of chocolate and cocoa notes, some oaky notes but I was hoping for more vanilla and less astringency, but that’s probably from bourbon aging I recon. The flavor is nice and roasty with a mild hop bite in the tail and subtle roast astringency. A creamy mouthfeel and flavor. Good oatmeal stout!
