This smooth and easy to process sweet mild stout pours black, and emits a light chocolate and roast aroma. Body is smoooooth with the oats presenting themselves mid-way. Touch of roast towards the finish. Not mind-blowing. HogTownHarry (4053), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Bottle ( 12oz ). Opaque black, average tan creamy-foamy head, not too thick-looking. Deep almost burnt dry roast aroma, herbal and slightly salty. Tastes similar, some hessian/iodine and a touch of lactose - very dry, not much alcohol. Slick, smooth mouthfeel, a bit flat, with a lightly burnt, oily linger. Not bad. fonefan (12484), VestJylland, Denmark

The aroma has notes of roasted malt, flower/fruit, licorice and I sense the softness from the oat. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, coffee, licorice, soft oat, and very light fruit and even lighter hints of smoke. The finish in this pleasant stout is slightly dry.
