| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2008 Blind tasting at Lunars Shoot stOut 2008, and later, 12 oz. bottle served. Clear, mahogany hue, with a very frothy, off white head, and clinging lace. Mild aroma notes of smoke, cocoa, roast, malt, and coffee. These follow into the flavor with some semi-sweetness and molasses. Medium body, and not much if any discernible hop bitterness, which would be favorable to me even with the oat presence. Enjoyable stout sja14 (105), Ohio, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 27, 2008 bottle - Pours black with a thin tan head. It smells of roast chocolate malt. The flavor is sweet dark roast malt with some oatmeal characteristics as expected and some mild hops to give it some balance. It is medium bodied and overall a tasty, easily sessioned stout.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 17, 2008 Bottle. Body is stouty dark and sports a smallish tan head. Not much happening in the nose at first, but it warms a bit and lovely chocolate, oat and coffee aromas spring forth. Flavor is pretty heavy on the oats up front and then at the very tail end of the aftertaste. They kind of stick with you after all of the chocolate and coffee dies down. This is pretty darn good stuff. nuplastikk (1175), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
