pineypower (2149) - Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA - NOV 22, 2009
Nitro at Iron Hill Newark. Pours out black with a moderate creamy off white head. Aromas of light chocolate, slight roast and a little sweetness. Velvet-like smooth mouthfeel. Taste is roasted malts, light chocolate and some hints of oat sweetness. Rather well balanced and pretty solid.

sonnycheeba (1915) - Federal Hill, Baltimore, Maryland, USA - DEC 9, 2011
Cask pour @ brewpub. Color is dark brown with thin tan head; minimal lacing. Sweet aroma with coffee and chocolate notes. Initial flavor is semi-sweet, but levels out with dry coffee and chocolate notes. Very nice beer and easy to drink.

stegosaurus (1882) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 1, 2007
North Wales location. On Nitro. Pours murky dark brown with a creamy head. Aroma of roast, coffee, and chocolate. The flavor is prodominately roast and coffee, with some traces of choclate, and a very mild hoppy presence. Nice thick body, lacks any punch or bite. Good brew.

JB175 (1665) - Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 21, 2007
Nitro @ Media. Sweet roast-malty aroma with hints of chocolate and coffee. Taste is very sweet & creamy with smooth roasted oat & barley taste plus hints of chocolate. Not very thick, but good for a basic sweet stout. Tasty one that is sure to please.

GMCC2181 (1424) - Newark, Delaware, USA - NOV 18, 2009
Nitro at Newark location. Poured into a pint glass, black in color, mocha colored cascading head. Sweet aroma, with some roasted malts. Taste is light roasted malts, oat, light chocolate with a overall sweetness. Not bad....got better as it warmed up. Texture was nice... small nitro bubbles bounce off your tounge and sit there. Overall no southern tier oat but still a decent brew.

GodOfThunder (1235) - Orlando, Florida, USA - MAY 16, 2010
Nitro Tap at Iron Hill Maple Shade. Pours a dark brown with a thick foam head. Some light comes through. Flavors are dark roasts, mostly, with a slight sweetness on the finish.

desurfer (1173) - Melbourne, Florida, USA - DEC 16, 2005
Nitro, Wilmington. Opaque black with a big, creamy tan head. Nitrogen pretty much killed the aroma except for some faint chocolatiness. Flavor is quite nice, with a ton of roasted malts and a distinct oaty character. Mouthfeel is full for a nitro’ed beer. Pretty good.
