kpresley77 (94), Jackson, Georgia, USA Apr 26, 2008 Updated: Jun 6, 2008 Bottle pours dark brown with little tan head. Not much aroma but slight malt. I havent tried many stouts and this has a good clean malt flavor. Really smooth and not what I expected from a dark stout beer. Will buy again.
Fruitfly (55), , Pennsylvania, USA Oct 10, 2008 55cl. Aroma is rich with roasted chocolate malt--lightly sweet and deep with very mild hop aromas. Caramel head quickly swallowed by the beer. Pleasantly sweet with a balanced bittern finish. It’s a bit viscous and has a very even and pleasing mouth feel. I don’t want it to end. Praetorian (58), Los Angeles, California, USA Oct 10, 2008 Black in color with a medium sized light brown head. The aroma is of oats, chocoalte and alcohol. The flavor is suprisingly sweet for a stout, with notes of coffee, oats and chocolate. The palate is creamy. Overall I’d say its a very good stout. The english sure know how to make a good beer...I’M A FAN! JCastner (39), New York, USA Oct 9, 2008 Pours black (obviously) with a tan head that settles quickly. Aroma is of wood smoked malt, fruit, coffee, licorice, and brown sugar. Taste is of sweet chocolate malt, a little hop tang followed by a silky oatmeal finish. Wow! This is amazing. Paired with some raw oysters and clams my wife brought home - I was in heaven! jkaiser (114), USA Oct 9, 2008 This was beer number 23 for me at beerfest. I tasted oatmeal. This girls at the tent were friendly. Very unique in my experience, the beer not the girls. bretupdegraff (101), Fishers, Indiana, USA Oct 8, 2008 sweet and roasty oat(y) aroma - nice off-white head with great lacing. Poured a dark dark amber allowing little light thru.. just enough to see the amber tint. Very smooth and creamy palate and flavor. Nice oatmeal flavor with a dry finish - very nice thick palate. Flavor is very nice and I think better than many of the Oatmeal Stouts that I have tried. I think I like the Bells Kalamazoo better but this is very good.
Cheers.
