2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sampled at DCH during RBSG 2006. Black with ruby edges and a beige head. Slightly roasty nose, hint of mocha. Light chocolate, coffee a little grass and roastiness. Medium bodied with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Boring, needs some life.

Velvety head with light chocolate notes. A very clean version of an oatmeal stout but enjoyable just the same.

Draught at the brewpub. Almost black colour. Very small light brown head. The flavour is rather powerful, roasted and vinous. Some alcohol in the flavour and mouthfeel.

3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
An unusual beer. Pours dark brown with a thin khaki head. The nose had a strong vanilla extracty quality to it. The mouthfeel wasn’t as smooth or creamy as I expected but it was malty and flavorful. Finishes clean.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at the DC location - pours an opaque black brown with 2 fingers of khaki creamy head. Aroma is toasty and malty. Taste is a little toasty bitter. Palate is creamy and medium bodied. Lingering sticky mouth feel. Overall result is pretty good, but not particularly complex.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Reviewed from notes.
Pours a fairly dark brown color with a light tan head. Single-finger of foam leaves a tad bit of lacing. The nose is coffee, chocolate, and some roasted malt. The taste is fairly roasty with just a bit of chocolate. Moderate body with good carbonation. Drinks fairly well overall and is a pretty good brew from the local spot.
Serving type: on-tap
