COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Creamy and substantial, this brew is bursting with the flavor of dark roasted grains. Oats add a soft velvety texture that blends well with the distinct malty flavor.

On tap @ Downtown Grill & Brewery. Near black/darkest brown pour with an ample creamy tan head and very good lacing. Roasted malt aroma with a light cocoa and very light coffee. Taste is very smooth, from the oats addition, with a toasted bread and malts flavor, not strong, and cocoa and light coffee. Nice stout, not overly astringent.

Draft at brwer. Pours a jet black with a tan head. Scent is roasted malt and chocolate. Taste is big coffee with roasted malt. Drawback was the water like feel.

chriso (7065) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - FEB 5, 2011
On draught at Downtown Grille, Knoxville on 8 July 2006. Black. Quite light bodied. Smooth, creamy oat character comes through strongly. Not that sweet. Pleasant but seemed a little underpowered to me.

Had this with the Downtown Grill & Brewery sampler. It was good but compared to the others, it was a step down. A little to strong for my tastes. But certainly not bad.
