Goodgrief (1144), Middletown, Delaware, USA Feb 2, 2008 June 2006 - Bah. Beer poured dark brown color with really lame head, but nice lacing (go figure). Faint bitter aroma…doesn’t get my hopes up. A sip...not much going on in this one. Really thin and watery. Chocolate, roast and a little lactic flavor…but just not ENOUGH of any of it. Warming didn’t help. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA Jan 31, 2008 12 oz bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Pours a nice dark brown color with a light tan head. Aroma is all roasted malt with some touches of cocoa. Taste is the same with a light sweetness to it, some bitterness on the finish. Not that bad. jarspag (593), Los Angeles, California, USA Jan 30, 2008 Served on nitro in Cortez, CO (biz).. Aroma is subtle roasty coffee-chocolate. Flavor is the same with a mild sweetness - finishes slightly bitter. Nitro provided the milkshake mouthfeel which I love in a small stout. Decent at best - but also expected. mixinnixon2000 (227), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 28, 2008 nice bitter flavor. couldn’t believe I found this in Macomb. dark, but not pitch black. good mouthfeel CP (124), USA Jan 28, 2008 Not sure why this is only in the 65 percentile , i think it is pretty underrated really. This is a great simple oatmeal stout. Just a bit behind Goose Island’s offering. DasBoot (11), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 27, 2008 Bitter stout with a coffee like flavor and aroma. Dark like a stout should be. Not as creamy as others. Thin head and and light body. ryanbush2026 (4), USA does not count Jan 25, 2008 I really like this oatmeal stout. It is a bit on the syrupy side I suppose, but overall a nice beer. Has a nice mouthfeel and smells like an oatmeal should. To me the color is a bit off though. BenDover (125), Texas, USA Jan 25, 2008 Pours a nice dark brown, almost black, thin tannish foam. Aroma is almost nonexistent. Flavor is sharp but somewhat one-dimensional, not complex at all. I’d say okay, certainly wouldn’t bother buying it again.
