Thanks to Goliath for this want
Bottle poured into a tulip glass produced a good fingers worth of tan head that turned to a ring of lace on top of a black body
Aromas of Coffee and chocolate (roasted malts) filled my nose
Flavors are very much in the roasted malts family coffee maybe even to the point of overpowering I didn’t quite pick up the oats till it warmed full bodied not much carbonation
It went down fairly smooth and I would considerer very drinkable I would defiantly drink it again but not the best Oatmeal Stout I have had

Oct 1, 2008 It’s aight. Not much nose, and it’s a little too watery for me, but I don’t pretend to know a shitload about beer. I just love it, and this is a decent, though in no ways great, stout.

Sep 30, 2008 Bottled@SBWF2008. Deep ambery brown colour, small brown head. Aroma is cookies, some caramel malts and roasted malts. Flavour is roasted malts, some nuts and also mild smoked wooden notes. Aftertaste is licorice, roast and some tobaccoish notes. Wellbalanced and nice.

Sep 28, 2008 from a bottle, served into a standard pint at O’Hare
A dark brown / dark amber, almost black. Cola colours. Head on this one is a little lighter - both a lighter tan(even offwhite) and lasting.
Oatmeal graininess really stands out on the front of the aroma, along with standard roasty malts - some SLIGHT coffee hints, but not a great deal of that going on.
Roast malts finalized by the oat flavours pretty much dominate this brew. A little straight forward and simple - not noting chocolates, coffee, etc... in the taste, and it might be a little nice for some added complexity.
A little on the lighter side of things... comes across a little more like a lighter leaning schwarzbier or sth. That’s not a bad thing, but I find myself looking for the creamier mouthfeel that often accompanies an oatmeal stout. Like most often, the ABV is a lower and/or more modest percentage, making it easily sessionable for what it’s worth. A good beer, not a great beer, but I’d have it again.

Sep 28, 2008 A slight aroma of roast with a touch of chocolate and sweetness. Pours an opaque black, with a tight cap of light tan head. Very light bodied, flavor is of roasted notes, touches of chocolate, and a balanced sweetness with a hint of creaminess. A very drinkable stout, and one that I would hand over to those who say they don’t like "dark beers".

Sep 28, 2008 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Hazy dark brown with an orange hue and a beige head. Aroma of sweetish hard roasted malts and a little vanilla. Medium body with sweet hard roasted malts. Soft mouthfeel and the bitterness is very discreet. 190908
