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

Dark black with dark brown foam. Very burnt and dry, but short, flavour. Dangerously drinkable.

Small tan head atop dark mahogany body. Aroma is rich and cocoa, slightly roasty. Taste is roasty chocolate, with a strong bitter aftertaste, more chicory than hops. Not as rich as I’d expect

(On tap Real Ale Fest - Chicago) Pours a deep black with a soft coffee aroma. This has good, sweet, well rounded flavor with a smooth roasted profile and a lightly bitter finish. A good sweet stout.

On tap. Poured a dark black with a brownish head. Subtle aromas and tastes of light chocolate and roasted malts. Body was a little on the watery side.
