Kind of thin and fizzy with nominal oatmeal flavor and some chocolate and biscuit notes. Unremarkable.

Aug 24, 2008 12 fl oz bottle. Pours dark brown to black with fully diminished tan head. Almost smooth mouthfeel. Chocolate and roasted malt aroma, quite dark and slight roasted. Roasted malt base flavour with a smooth chocolate note and a reappearing roasted malt flavour showing a distinct acidity into the finish. Lingering chocolate malty finish.

Aug 1, 2008 Pours a dark, dark brown that appears black in the glass with mahogany tints around the edges. The head is small but dense and fades quickly leaving only hints of lacing. The smell is dominated by dark roasted malts, chocolate and burnt coffee. The taste is not quite as distinctive as the smell but does have a little more sweetness in the form of molasses up front. Then it’s more of the roasted coffee and malts with a slightly bitter coffee finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and a little thin for the style. This is a very drinkable stout though I’m not sure what the lager label is about. Either way, nothing distinctive but not too bad.

Jul 18, 2008 Bottle pours dark brown with a quickly receding tan head. Aromas of chocolate, malts, with a hint of sour. Flaovrs of cocoa powder, cherries, and a slight sour note. Thin and nothing to exciting going on.

Jul 14, 2008 Everyone’s favorite bottom fermented oatmeal stout?!?!?!?!
Aroma is fairly faint but plesant, there is a bit of chocolate, fresh coffee, and oatmeal. The beer is a very deep brown with a thin but lasting tan head. The flavor is quite good, the oatmeal flavor is very presant and very nice. There are flavors again of coffee and some coacoa. There are also some flavors of licorice, and light hop fruityness. The stout is very creamy and drinkable.

Jul 5, 2008 Black color, creamy tan head. Smell is of cocoa and roasty, with some hops perceived as well, nice, but could have been stronger. There seems to be some sort of sourness in the taste, but luckily the roastiness overpowers it quickly and leads you to a tasting of oats and cocoa in the finish. Lower carbonation, nice creamy mouthfeel, medium bodied. I could definately see myself having more of this, could be improved in some areas, but is a pretty good local stout. Worth trying if you come across.
