hophead75 (1680), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Feb 27, 2007 sampled at the brewpub. dark brown-almost black with ruby highlights. Aroma: chocolate caramel light roasty notes. Taste is the same, light to medium body, not bad. CamdenD (570), Madrid, Spain Dec 31, 2005 Average, across the board. Poured with little head and dark. Texture is a bit thin, oatmeal is not overwhelming. Good beer with the chili. Rastacouere (5409), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Dec 26, 2005 Honest light brown ring fades quickly from the deepest brown pour. Honest roastiness in a grainy way can’t hide the tartish component. Competently displayed oatmeal presence gives a floury aspect. Sweetish and weirdly juicy, like pear syrup, mandarin, pineapple, thus feeling quite pale for a stout. Light bodied, fading out initially adequate carbonation. argo0 (6230), Washington DC, USA Dec 30, 2003 Black body with creamy tan head. Aroma is chocolate and roasty. Taste is medium sweet, roasty, chococoffee/mocha. Medium body. Tasty.
