| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | 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

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Sep 13, 2006 Nice oat flavor goes down extremely smooth. Has a sweet aroma, dark brown body with a tan head. Fairly low carbonation takes a little away from the palate.
