SB (287), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 27, 2006 From bottle
Poured dark black, with foamy/creamy light brown head. Aroma roasty, malty, with slight sweetness. Flavor of malts with hints of caramel, roasted oats, and an underlying sweetness. Light mouthfeel. Good carbonation, tingly on my tounge. I didn’t get any bitterness throughout. Smooth and easy to drink, this was gone before I knew it. This is one of the best sweetstouts I have had. bigbeersilove (9), lansing, Michigan, USA does not count Mar 30, 2008 12oz btl. pours slick black with a nice tan head that looks a little looser than i would have expected. aroma is roasted coffee and wood. light smoke and cream on the front, followed by sweet oat, coffee and cream on the back. very loose, light mouth-feel, and easy finish. my first thought is that as an oatmeal stout this one is not what i like. BUT one of the things i like about erie brewing, is that they try to take people into and everyday exploration of beers that they normally wouldn’t drink. i think its a really nice bridge beer taking people out of their happy "fizzy yellow" box and showing them something different to look at and drink.
Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA Apr 5, 2007 12oz bottle. Pour was slightly on the aggressive side, and produced a huge foamy tan head, on a black body. Noise was malts and I trace of cola. Taste was dark chocolate, with a lighter mouth feel. There was a bitter ending and after taste, like dark chocolate. The large amount of carbonation dissipated with the warming, and I felt the warming after affects on the 6.9% VERY BIG THANKS TO DOCLOCK!
Well... I am #10, now this brew counts!! FROTHINGSLOSH (1402), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 17, 2006 Updated: Aug 27, 2007Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark black color with a large brown head. The aroma is strong roasty malts with a hint of dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is moderately thick. The flavor is strong with floral hops that burst on to the tongue followed by a fairly subdued roasty malt element and a moderately sweet finish. DocLock (3930), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 6, 2007 Bottle from Capone’s. Deep blackish pour with big, 3-finger brown head that goes away fairly quickly. Aroma of roasty dark malt, chocoff, some jalapeno oil. Tastes rich, roasty malty, with some chocoff, ovaltine, and slight dark fruit hints as it warms. Not bad.
