Pours a nice dark brown with a tan head and plenty of head-retention.
Smells very faintly of toasted malts.
Very smooth taste, the toasted malts are there of course, but nothing was overbearing in the least. Very good stout.
Definately drinkable.
I’d like to end this by stating, for the record, that I’m not generally a fan of stouts. I know this is blasphemy for many of you, but it’s the truth. So to say that I really enjoyed this one means a lot. Great beer.

Jul 22, 2008 Drank with some friends somwhere near Davenport, Iowa. Pours a dark black body with a thick light brown head. The aroma is mostly roasted malt notes. The taste was full of rich chocolates, a mild roasted malt, and some nutty aspects. Quite full of flavor and well crafted. I enjoyed this one a great deal.

Jul 12, 2008 12 oz bottle from HyVee.
Aroma: Same as any stout, really. Malty, chocolate, roasty, mocha. Smooth.
Appearance: Dark, black. Not a lot of carbonation. Smooth. Small and dark, brown head that dissipates moderately and ends up rather lacy.
Flavor: Slightly watered down. Chocolate finish. Sweet and creamy.
Palate: Creamy, smooth, medium to light body. Not a lot of carbonation. Pretty good aftertaste that lingers of chocolate.
Overall: Very drinkable oatmeal stout. Pretty damn smooth and has a great aftertaste. Less taste than I would prefer, but still a solid beer.

Jun 29, 2008 This black ale poured with a short tan head and a chocolate malt aroma. The flavor is chocolate and coffee with a carbonated mouthfeel and a surprisingly bitter finish. The rich flavor makes this a tasty drink.

Jun 27, 2008 Pours black with standard aroma. Pretty standard flavor but more of that of a porter. Less sweet than I would imagine.

Jun 25, 2008 It pours a dirty oil black with a very thin tan head. There are strong aromas of coffee grounds and fresh soil. Flavor is of coffee and a bit of chocolate, with some nice roasted malts also. This is an outstanding, well balanced stout.
