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.

Nov 26, 2009 Had this last night to help prepare for this mornings Turkey Trot 10k. It helped. I ran 1 second faster than last year. 12 oz bottle. Poured black with a creamy tan head. Smelled of roasted grain, malt, chocolate, and brown sugar. Tasted of oatmeal, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and grain. Nicely carbonated. Nice aftertaste. Thanks for the trade JB.

Nov 26, 2009 Good stout not the best oatmeal stout though. I do like the roasted maltyness and the dark chocolate bitterness. Not enough oatmeal presence here and the mouthfeel was slightly watery followed by a unplesent strange sour/tart finish. This beer really didn’t come together for me. Would I drink it again sure I will but only cause I bought a six pack and have five more. Not really impressed by this one.

Nov 22, 2009 Poured dark with a small head. Aroma is of the roasted grains, coffee and a bit of chocolate. Taste is a little bland but the aftertaste of coffee and chocolate is good. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side. Overall, its a decent, if under-powered, stout. As the beer warms, the flavor becomes a little more apparent.
