Black pour with medium sized tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, espresso and a hint of chocolate. Taste has a nice creamy roastiness, slightly sweet, low carbonation. Very nice oatmeal stout.

On Tap at Four Peaks. I thought this was the best one of the flight of 8 brews served here. Pours black with a light tan head. Smells of dark roast coffee, cocoa, and toasted malt. Lots of dark, toasty malt flavor with a silky finish, but a little too light on the body (slightly watery). Smooth and easy to drink despite the wish for a fuller mouth feel.

Pours opaque black with very creamy tan head that longest. No lacing becabecause head still there. Nitrogen tap. Roasted and toasted malt flavors . Subtle espresso. Mildly bitter butt bee smooth long finish dominated by the malt flavors. A good guineas clone I would say.

This beer was very dark with a vanilla head wich hung around the life of the beer. A great tasting oatmeal stout with a smooth finish. Defiantly six pack worthy.

Draft at brewpub. Pours black with a thin khaki head. There’s some silkiness to the mouth feel. A hint of roasted malt on the nose. Tastes a tad like cola. Clean finisher.

Brown pour with tan head and lace. Aroma of light chocolate and coffee. Sour malt, dry toasted malt, some coffeness, and a light malt bitter. Thin and watery, just lacks body.

on tap-pours a tan head and black color. Aroma is medium/dark malt-roasty/peat/toffee, some earthy. Taste is medium/dark malt-roasty/peat/toffee, some fruit, earthy hops.

Black color/ lasting tan head. Mild coffee, astringent roast aromas. Thin mouthfeel. Dark roast malt flavors with black licorice herb, sweet chocolate, lingering astringent finish--not good.

Poured up on tap at the Tempe Four Peaks with deep mahogany body and dark brown edges as well as long lasting mocha head. The mild aroma offers up milk chocolate, dark roasted malts and dark toasted German brown bread. The taste is smooth and seems like a nitro pour (but there’s no way to know for sure from my vantage point) offering smooth dark roasted malts mixing with mild levels of milk chocolate and dark fruity esters. It gets pretty dry into the finish where a touch of burnt maltiness surfaces and heads into the after taste.

On tap. Pour is deep brown with a khaki head. Aroma shows notes of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. Flavor shows pretty much the same. Overall body is moderate, creamy, and lightly bitter. Pretty straightforward and simple.
