Black in color, almost no light gets through the mug. Cream colored head which dissapates fairly quickly with very little lacing. Smells of roasted malts, coffee and hints of spiced fruits. The taste starts out with a strong coffee flare followed by a slightly bitter hoppy kick. There is quite a bit of carbonation and it is fairly thick. It is a decently drinkable beer, easy to sip on but 1 bomber seems to be enough.

Jul 6, 2008 Black pour, light head. Coffee and slight chocolate, pretty balanced with carbonation. Nothing real extream here, good for someone just adventuring into dark beers or someone who prefers lighter styles.

Jun 28, 2008 Pours black with a pretty sturdy whit-ish head. Aroma is lots of dry roastiness with some condensed milk sweetness. Flavor is very dry, a bit sweet, an rather roasty. There is a touch of sourness, a bit like a malted milk ball, that I don’t particularly care for but is not unpleasant, but this taste seems common in a lot of stouts. Mouthfeel is not thick, but is appropriate for the style. All in all though, I like it. Perhaps not as much as some others on this site, but I like it.
I would recommend this beer; I bought this bottle at 3 Cellars in Franklin, WI.

Jun 28, 2008 Very tasty sweet stout. Pour is black with thin offwhite head. Nose is charcoal and some chocolatey malt notes. Taste is distinctly sweet and chocolatey with an oily mouthfeel due to the oatmeal. Very well balanced, actually, so I presume there is a hefty hop load. Excellent.

Jun 14, 2008 @Sarasota Brewing-on tap-pours a thin tan head that laces and black color. Aroma is rich dark malt/oats-molasses/cocoa. Taste is rich dark malt/oats-molasses/cocoa, slight hops bite. Full body. Nice for a style that’s not usually one of mine.
