Mar 14, 2007 bottle. i’ve had this on tap recently too, i think the bottle comes across better right now. solid black pour grey head, chocolate, nose with notes of brownies, with a light coffee scent. enjoyable balanced flavor. sugary cocoa and vanilla flavor mix with the roast notes well. a bit of raisin in the finish with a nice fudge flavor. really enjoyable beer.

Mar 6, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a frothy tan head that mostly diminishes and leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is sweet lactic chocolate, some coffee and some charcoal and vegetal notes.
The flavor is sweet chocolate, coffee, and some anise with a burnt bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full with low carbonation.
Overall a very nice winter stout. The burnt bitterness balances out the sweet notes nicely.

Feb 26, 2007 Updated: Mar 1, 200712 oz bottle via beerandblues2 (thanks!). Pours black with a large tan head. Love the burnt/roasted nose with subtle notes of chocolate & vanila. Taste starts semi-sweet, then the roasted barley kicks in, followed by a little chocolate & coffee that is nicely balanced by some earthy hops. A little salty and with some soy in the finish as well. A little smokiness is noted. The oats don’t come through until the aftertaste. Thin/medium body. Moderate carbonation. A sweet stout? Not tasting hardly any sweetness, i would say this is just a Stout, but a pretty good one.
