Aroma of malts and oats but light. Some chocolate and coffe as expected but still very light. Taste is sweet and a little hot but a little watery at the same time.

Poured a dark black color with brown edges and a small sized off white head. Aromas of chocolate, roast, caramel, and a little oaty. Tastes of chocolate, oats, coffee, and roast. Thinner body.

UPDATED: DEC 16, 2007 Growler. Pours almost still with aroma of roasted chocolate. Not sweet at all, as the oatmeal makes it plenty dry. A bit thin on the palate.

Pours black with some amber notes and a small beige head. The aroma is bitter but dry roasted malts and a little hops. Flavor is bitter, dark roast, carmel, baker’s chocolate, and cigar smoke, with a piney hop finish.

Draft, Selin’s Grove Brewing Co. Pours a dark, brownish-black color; thin, light tan head. Plenty of roasted malts and milk chocolate in the aroma; softly roasted with a hint of mint coming through. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: plenty of milk chocolate, roasted malts, and a slight, oily nuttiness; dense, toasty oatmeal stout with a chocolatey core; soft roastiness. Medium, milk chocolate and roasted malt finish.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours black with amber edges and a rocky tan head. The aroma is sweet chocolate, some berries, and lots of grain. the flavor is bitter chocolate with some caramel and earthy hops everywhere. Strong toasted oat notes take over the finish. Decent.

On tap at the brewpub. Dark brown/black, with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, oats, and chocolate. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate, oats, coffee, and a little smoke. Very good.

Tap at brewpub. Black pour with a thick creamy light brown head (on nitro BTW). Roasty burnt toast malt aroma. Nice roasted malt flavor with tons of coffee in the finish. Silky smooth mouthfeel from the nitro, like slipping into bed naked with quality silk sheets. The addition of oats adds a little body. Overall, a good true-to-style nitro Irish Stout. Shame there’s no way to get this to go.

On tap at the brewpub, poured black with a nice tan head. There was a watery feel to this beer and it did not seemed very well balanced.

for a stout i thoguht this was thin and lacking in taste. It looked really good but beyond that there wasnt’ much to it. perhaps i got a bad batch. If i’m ever up in selinsgrove i’ll have to try again.
