Jun 28, 2008 Bottle from Styles. A decent appearance, although it didn’t jump out as outstanding by looking at it. After that, though, a darned nice brew. Excellent robust body and mouthfeel opens up and fortifies an outstanding and rounded flavor of light coffee and cocoa chocolate, very nice roasty touch and oatmeal finish. A solid oatmeal stout. Thanks so much, Chris.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle cold. Very dark to black with a dense, short-lived head. Nice aroma of fresh apples and new mown grass. Sharp malt with creamy mouth. The oatmeal quality is apparent in every sip and a sour flavor with small hop bitter gets the job done for this rather unique ale. I’ll drink all four!

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle courtesy of someone from the Tampa crew. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, and oats. Taste is the same as aroma with hints of bitter chocolate. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and very well hidden alcohol. Very good.

Jun 17, 2008 Bottle, courtesy CigarCityBrew, I think. Pours black with brown highlights. Creamy head with nice lacing. Roasted malts in the nose, chocolate and oats, vanilla, and coffee beans. Tons of roasted malts in the mouth, chocolate, coffee, oats, cereal. Finish is big and has tons of roasted notes. Body is somewhat light, extremely drinkable.

Jun 11, 2008 Near black with a light brown head. Big milky sweet blackened malt aroma with vanilla. Ultra smooth and full bodied. Smooth, rich roasted malt flavors with some smoky pipe tobacco earthy sweetness lingering to the finish. These guys know how to make good stouts.
