| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 24, 2008 UNASSUMING straight and honest oatmeal stout. nice malt flavors a touch of cocoa with coffee. bottle ended with a touch of acid and a true burnt wood smoke flavor that was delightfully refreshing. odd as normally i hate that flavor. so satisfying with that alcohol !? this beer is well balanced and has quite a good mouthfeel that is mainly velvety. bit of raisin and cherry in the malty aroma. can’t say enough as this beer is so well put togeather. pcurran41 (11), Brighton, Massachusetts, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Smooth, average cream colored head. First had it on tap at the brewery and have since had bottles from several locations and have not been disappointed, but as in most cases, better from the source. nathan30533 (139), Dahlonega, Georgia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jun 21, 2008 A very smooth poor. Very little head and a smooth flavorful taste. Plenty of aroma and a good Oatmeal Stout. I will try a few more from this Colorado brewer. Guinness4Duff (507), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 21, 2008 Bottle. Black pour with a small brown head. Sweet aroma with a nice roasted presence. Same can be said for the flavor, which comes with a puckering sourness. Not bad, but this is not as smooth/creamy as an oatmeal stout should be. phishpond417 (1935), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jun 11, 2008 Pours a dark chocolate with a medium sized khaki head. Aromas of oatmeal cookies and almonds. Flavors a little lighter then i expected, but pleasent, silky- not as creamy as i usually like my oat stouts. A little weak at times. Rciesla (3590), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 2, 2008 Bottle from oak tree. Pours a dark brown body with a lighter head 1 finger. Aroma is coffee, sweet chocolate, and subtle oats. Mouthfeel is creamy with a dry finish. A mellow flavor of sweet malt, and coffee. No etoh here. Simple stout.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 31, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours dark brown in color with thin brown head, which does not last long. Aroma roasted coffee, malt and is sweet. Taste of coffee, dark chocolate and molasses with dry finish. troyc (1175), Lubbock, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 31, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a very dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma of cocoa and dark coffee beans. More fragrant than I expected. Taste includes dark chocolate and molasses, with some astringent roasted character from the dark malts. Oats were also detectable. Overall the blend of flavors wasn’t bad, but at times they seemed to clash in a negative way. Average carbonation. I really didn’t get much of the ’creamy body’ from this beer as described in the commercial description. All in all, a decent oatmeal stout, but definitely not one of the better ones I have had.
