| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2007 Updated: Oct 12, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep, opaque onyx with a very thick, dense, velvety head that lasts a long time and leaves lace on the glass like jaguar spots. The aroma is bold with dark roasted grains, chocolate cookie (like an Oreo w/out the creamy center), and sweet barley malt. There is also an earthy, herbal character from the hops - albeit mild. The flavor starts bittersweet like semi-sweet chocolate chips. The taste reminds me of of Oreos dipped in cold, bitter coffee. Hints of hops emerge towards the back of the tongue - just enough to provide balance to this semi-sweet, roasty brew. The finish is dry with a lingering slight sweetness. The mouthfeel is a touch over-carbonated, but otherwise elegantly thick - not syrupy. The luscious oiliness of oatmeal is pretty evident in the beer’s full body. Overall, a pretty decent oatmeal stout.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jan 31, 2010 Pours cloudy black with deep dark brown head. Very appealing.
Nose is rich and full with roastyness and chocolate.
Palate is more of the same, thankfully. Big roasty flavors, sweet malt, and some hops in the balance but the focus is certainly on the smoooth roastyness. Very good.
Finish is medium and appetizing for the next sip. DrinkEmUpJones (42), Georgia, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 25, 2010 Deep brown/black with light brown head. Medium-to-strong aromas of molasses, maple syrup and oatmeal. Oily on palate; thick viscosity with flavors of oatmeal, roasted nuts and maple. Light hops with a slightly sour finish. Delicious-great for a cold night. Would also make a good beer float. Lyncham (87), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 3, 2010 Very basic Oatmeal stout. Not very complex. Minimal aromas, and a simple roasted malt flavor. The hops are gentle for a stout. Goose Island Oatmeal stout and, of course Samuel Smith’s are better. j12601 (1501), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 1, 2010 Bottle courtesy of jbye. Pours a hefty dark black with a large light mocha head. Roast, and a touch of wood and smoke. Medium bodied, lots of nice roast, with almost a spicy cayenne note on the finish balancing out the subtle sweet vanilla tones. Pretty tasty, thanks Josh. arminjewell (357), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 24, 2009 Pours black with a tan head, smells of roasted malt. Taste is fairly creamy with a nice roasted coffee taste that evens into a roasted finish. Fairly decent oatmeal stout! ttutony (129), Galveston, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 21, 2009 Deep black color in the glass. Nice roasted malt character with a smooth mouthfeel. Would definitely purchase again. jport4087 (102), Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 19, 2009 Bottle from variety pack. Poured black with light head and lacing. As expected, aroma and flavor is roasty malts, chocolate and coffee. Gets much better as it warms. Will buy again. Tessic (482), Brantford, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 16, 2009 This stout poured a deep black colour with a nice, big, brown, quickly dissipating head. To the nose there are scents of caramel, smoke, cereal and cocoa. First taste is smooth but a little watery on its mouthfeel. Flavours of smoke and burnt malt at the forefront. Rich malt and caramel lingering behind. Burnt malt flavour lingering.
