thehurt01 (201), Denver, Colorado, USA Nov 2, 2006 It was like pouring cup of tar the color was so dark, it produced a small brownish head that disapated fast. The aroma is a heavy toasted malt. The taste is so freaking good that you need to get some. carbonation is high but it fits this beer just right. Smooth finish. Bigassfish (140), Naperville/Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 30, 2006 bottle. Dark black. rich roasty smell and smooth palate. flavor of roasted malts and chocolate. very drinkable and enjoyable. CigarsLoveBeer (153), Illinois, USA Oct 27, 2006 Updated: Jan 17, 2007Bottle: Head died quickly, and the aroma was weak and bready. Poured a dark brown. Sweet initial taste, and at different points this stout had sweet and dark chocolate, metal, expresso, and bread notes. Medium body and sweet, mid length finish. Not a bad beer, terrable if some fool serves it too cold. SGTHibbert (100), Perry, Iowa, USA Oct 19, 2006 Very interesting nose. Alot going on here. Heavy notes of dark bread, grain and roasty molasses. Coffee too. Light scent of herbs. Some slight dough. Cask wood. Smokey bacon. Much like a rauchbier. Apperance was very dark, black with no head whatsoever. Flavor was bitter yet smooth with average duration. Full bodied with creamy texture and soft carbonation. Very interesting. Nice stout however inferior to Samuel Smiths. Good with desert or BBQ. jimvy (131), O’Fallon, Missouri, USA Oct 2, 2006 On tap at Breckenridge Pub 9/28/06. Dark brown color, clear, thin head. Aroma is very slight - some light roast. Flavor is more like a dry stout - some good roastiness, but dry and thin in body. Overall, I don’t think this has any characteristics of an oatmeal stout other than the color. It’s dry and somewhat thin, lacks the creaminess found in the style. Could pass for a dry stout. iskirwan1 (66), monument, Colorado, USA Oct 1, 2006 pours a dark black body with a heafty tan head aroma is coco smoke and alcohol cremey mouthfill taste is smoke coco and carmeal not that great seems like if gunnise were to brew it hophead75 (1945), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Sep 29, 2006 sampled at brewpub. doesn’t seem quite as bad as others made it out to be. very dark brown, just about black with a tan head. Aroma is chocolatey. The taste is light chocolate and coffee with a silky texture. The body is medium on this beer, carbonation on the light side. waolsen (1220), Littleton, Colorado, USA Sep 24, 2006 tap. black/brown pour. I can see through this beer!!!!??? I dont want to be able to see through my stout. thick tan head and nice lacing. chocolate, oatmeal, hops and burnt malt aroma. burnt coffee, mild chocolates and healty hops. yawn.
