BigMilly8 (374), Holiday, Florida, USA Mar 9, 2008 From bottle : Very dark pour with a lot of carbonation, looks like soda, with an offwhite head and spidery lacing. Aroma is slightly faint, but what i do get is some roasted notes, with dry chocolate smells. Taste is roasted coffee beans and chocolate, finishes dry and kinda bland, with expresso notes, not much aftertaste. Kind of a thin body, real light mouthfeel, but has a slick feel with soft carbonation. ebrowner88 (113), Rice, Minnesota, USA Mar 7, 2008 Pours deep black with a red under tone. Like a cherry Coke. Nice creamy tan head with a blend of large and fine bubbles that dissapate into a thin lace with fine brussels around the glass. Initial taste isn’t bad, sweet, but not overpoweringly so. I get oatmeal taste and then.........painted metal. I have no idea where it came from but that last taste is like someone left a galvanized washer in the bottle. Very sad. It starts great. My solution is just to take the next sip before the metal taste starts, that way, you only get the metal taste once. I believe the industry term is "slamming" hogan873 (317), Joliet, Illinois, USA Mar 7, 2008 No light escapes the blackness of this brew. It is topped with a very thin tan head that leaves little lacing. Aroma is sweet with notes of chocolate, coffee, cream, and oatmeal. The flavor is not nearly as sweet as the aroma, but still nice. Coffee and bitter chocolate. Finishes clean. A nice stout. moseslikesbeer (183), conestoga, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 5, 2008 dark brown and a thin tan head. aroma of malt and coffee. tasted like chocolate and coffee and maybe a little nutty too. had a strange palate for me and I thought it was a little weak for a stout but it was a smooth drop and I would drink again. jameswolfe (141), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Mar 5, 2008 Pitch black with almost zero head retention. Commercial description is accurate, but I also detect sort of a meaty spice character in both scent and taste. BeerGestapo (729), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 4, 2008 (USA) Dark Brown color with a Tan Head. Has a sweet roasted Malt Aroma,with a nice Smooth Chocolate taste!!! Much better then what i expected. pineypower (1077), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA Mar 2, 2008 Pours out black with a little tan head. Aroma is of roasted malt and slight chocolate. Taste is roasted malt, chocolate and slight hop. This one lacked the sweetness most oatmeals tend to have. EricE (446), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Mar 1, 2008 Dark black pour with very little head. Looks like a glass of coke. Sweet malty aroma. Sweet stout like taste with a bitter finish. A little thin on the body. Good but nothing special. A nice smooth easy to drink stout.
