Dfonorow (31), New Jersey, USA Nov 2, 2009 Black (like it should be) with a caramel head. The smell is quite nice and includes notes of chocolate, licorice, oatmeal, alcohol, and dark fruits. The taste is strong and bold but at the same time very smooth. It is a nice mix having the sweet taste of oatmeal and chocolate and then the kick of alcohol at the end. slang (392), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Nov 1, 2009 growler. Dark w/ subtle brown head, chunky if poured hard. Nose of vanilla, bread & alcohol. Taste is alcoholic malty, milk choc.y smoothness. It’s a complex beer that manages to avoid all the cliches of it’s peers. The lack of coffee/roast is nice, the alchie-smoothness is drunkenly tantalizing. Kudos. anders37 (4516), Malmö, Sweden Oct 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty chocolate aroma. Sweetish roasted malty milk chocolate flavor with hints of coffee and oat. Has a sweetish roasted malty chocolate finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste. jeremytoni (1069), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Oct 21, 2009 From a bottle poured dark brown with almost no head. Nice sweet malty flavor with a lasting finish. marcus (1821), Sacramento, California, USA Oct 20, 2009 This black ale poured with a thin tan head and a strong chocolate aroma There is a chewy and creamy treacle and chocolate flavor with a bitter hop finish and an alcohol trail. Very nice. Enjoyit (1697), Vadum, Denmark Oct 13, 2009 Black of color with a small beige head. An aroma of sweet liqurice, salty, bitter and weak chocolate. A flavor of liqurice and bitter-sweet. Macadem (100), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Oct 11, 2009 This has an absolutely amazing nose for an oatmeal stout. Big chocolate, prunes, raisins, oats and red berry aromas. Very fruity tastes, lots of raisins and red berries. This is fantastic! jeff789 (359), Pennsylvania, USA Oct 11, 2009 Pitch black, very opaque... Creamy roasty aroma, notes of cereal grains, lactose, sweet cream... Roasty creamy mouthfeel, with notes of burnt malts, cream, milk, cereal... Full bodied, slightly sweet, but not nearly as sweet as creme brulee... very very good....
