COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our inky-black, oatmeal stout has a smooth, round palate with a dreamlike undercurrent of bittersweet chocolate. This dense liquid-silk summons hope from hibernation and balances winter’s endless white snows with a rich swirl of creamy black rapture. Available in the Winter, reintroduced in Winter 2012 after a hiatus.

One of my all time favorite beers. A touch on the sweet side, but still remains hearty as a stout should be.

UPDATED: APR 7, 2003 The best of their stouts, rich, thick, hearty and a nose to die for. Nice hop and malt balance, a must try for stout lovers.
