12oz bottle. Pours a deep black color with minimal beige head. Aroma is roasted chocolate and caramel malts. Flavor is sweet and malty with smooth finish but a bit light on body. Average.

Aroma of faint roasted nuts and caramel. Color is black with a magenta hue and no foam. Taste is bland cocoa, barley ant oats on the finish. Overall, very watered down with weak flavors. Not very good quality. I’d give this a D rating.

dark brown/black pour with brownish head - slight coffee/’chocalate aromas - taste of chocolate and coffee - lingering brown sugar and chocolate

~Mild milk chocolate aroma with light roasted nuttiness and coffee. ~Pours a very dark brown almost black with quickly disappearing brown head. ~Roasty malt flavor with coffee and dark chocolate. ~med body med C02, quick bitter roast finish. ~Enjoyable stout. Nothing in particular makes it stand out above others, Wish it was a tad bit sweeter. Maybe some caramel malts would do it justice.

Bottle from BevMo. Deep ruby in color with minimal head. Sweet and a little roast smelling. Smell a little yeasty. Aroma reminds me of a dopplebock more than a stout. Thin bodied. Sweet with a little roast. Not very stouty. Seems much more bocky. Finish is pretty dry and bitter. Drinkable, but an otherwise boring stout.

This buzzes with cascades of hearty, deep chocolate and earthy wheat undertones. It’s like pureed devil’s food cake pumped with hops. This oatmeal stout has a sinister licorice nose and bleeds a hazy brown. One of the best Pyramid brews, no doubt.

Tap: clear brown with thin head. Aroma cocoa powder, brown sugar and some fruit. Flavor is mild wth roast grain and some brown sugar. I was hopoing for more. Not much flavor and rather blah.

looks like this one came out of retirement, at least for the special winter 12-pack. pours black with a ruby tint and a large tan head, and a little lacing. smell is of bakers chocolate, malt, and some grain. taste is smooth, sweet malt, cocoa, a touch of vanilla bean, and oatmeal. ends smooth and a little thin.

12-oz. bottle into a pint glass at my house on Oct. 7, 2012 (purchased at BevMo in La Mesa (San Diego, Calif.) as part of a winter variety 12-pack for $15.99 (with card) on Oct. 5, 2012). Black with just below two fingers of khaki tan head. Surprisingly below average retention all-around. Smelled dark chocolate, coffee, coffee beans, toffee, roasty malts and even a little black licorice. Taste didn’t really come together as much as I would have liked. Got a lot more black licorice, dark chocolate, coffee and roasty, bitter malts. Maybe even some dark fruits in there late. Medium-to-full body. Creamy slick texture. Average-to-below average carbonation. Long, bitter finish. I was slightly disappointed. The flavors just didn’t come together. I probably wouldn’t have it again.

Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is a very minor roasted malt. Flavor is about the same. A very minimal roast malt and ends up very watery. This one should have stayed retired.
