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.

Baking chocolate leaps out under some ashy smoke and a nutty flavor which seems like its been roasted 100 times to induce bittering. Is there salt water here? I don’t mind the texture or the hops. It seems a bit overcarbonated. Seems overrated at the 84th percentile.

Bottle from 2007. Dark brown pour with fluffy brown head and thin spotty lace. Roast aroma, almost smoky. Silky mouth-feel with hints of; Oak, roast, chocolate, and a dry finish

Bottle. Thanks to Santa. Poured a dark black body with thin head. aroma is roasted chocolate malt, oak. Flavor is light oak, chocolate, coffee and roasted malt with a light hoppiness to it. Smooth and quite delicious.

Pour is a dark brown with light tan head. Roasty malt, chocolate, oats, oak, and a bit of smoke. Thin, but silky mouthfeel. Pretty decent stout.

Darker brown pour with a slightly oaky aroma that mixes with chocolate, and roasty malts. Flavor is a bit chocolatey and roasty with a kind of one demensional oak profile. Smooth, but weaker feel. Not bad, but I was hoping for more.
