Jul 11, 2009 Wow. Great beer. Pours dark with a lot of carbonation. Aroma and flavor of coffee and chocoate. Best stout available. Not even close.

Jul 10, 2009 Smells roasted coffee beans and coffee and more coffee... Pours a very dark black with a wonderful brown thick head that last for days. Close to full body with ample carbonation, dry and smooth finish. Flavor is all coffee, some sweetened oat, some fruit on the back but but a lot. I do get some vanilla and other flavors but I not quite sure what they are.... I will let it warm up and maybe I can tell.

Jul 9, 2009 Original review date 6/3/2008...
Pours with ample carbonation. Jet-black root beer/motor oil body with huge pumpernickel head. Carbonation progresses slowly up through the lusciously viscous liquid.
Bittersweet chocolate malt, coffee and cinnamon sugar. Smells oily with some grassy/earthy hops. Nice stuff.
Slatey, dry stout feel-bitter coffee dominates at first when cold-a little more oiliness emerges with warmth.
Drinks silky-a little more shallow than expected, though. Charred bitter notes sustain through finish. Deeper and darker with warmth.
Pleasure to drink-a little lighter than expected. Solid, well-balanced and well-constructed.

Jul 9, 2009 Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours dark black with a foamy tan head. Nose is roasty- chicory, spice, earth, and some light smoke permeate this one. Flavor is similar with sweetness periodically. Bitter, coffee, and earthiness define this beer more than a sweet oatmeal stout. Pretty good overall.

Jul 7, 2009 Athens, Ga. - Five Points Bottle Shop - 500 ml bottle. Black as tar, thick pour with a sticky khaki colored head. Thick aroma with lots of fresh ground coffee, licorice, and chocolate. Full-bodied flavor with tons of coffee, chocolate, oatmeal and a back end of licorice. Nice bitterness throughout, Excellent lacticity with lots of creamy thickness. Overall excellent - best I have had in ages.

Jul 7, 2009 Deep black and oily pour, classic stout appearance. Aroma is really well balanced ’roasty’ and grain with deep dark chocolate. Taste is, well, phenomenal. Sweet oatmeal (like ’Oh’s’ Cereal) and bittersweet chocolate dominate, the finish is where I get the coffee, and it’s a really nice balance to the sweet oatmeal. This is a really well done stout. Great balanced flavor, nothing to gripe about at all.

Jul 6, 2009 Black pour with a thin head. Chocolate and oat aroma, a little coffee. Flavor is much more coffee, still chocolate. Lip smackingly thick.
