Oct 25, 2008 Very aromatic with roasted malts..pours a deep brown to almost black with a thin head that lasts pretty well. Very smooth mouthfeel, with the flavors of coffee, heavy chocolate and a hint of vanilla. not a real hoppy flavor but enough to taste them. Definite alcohol burn in the aftertaste. this beer makes me smile.

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle...Deepest possible brown, lets say black...head is a dark brown sugar color...and it shrinks, but lasts to a skimming....rich malt aroma, like a roasted cereal doused slowly in chocolate, but only for a second....just rich malty superb....an inkling of metal includes itself here......Thick creamy luscious body...a determined oatmeal pushes its way into the crying child’s mouth...’I don’t like oatmeal mommy!!!’....she insists on the child, and the child complies once becoming keen to the chocolate undertones, as well as the sprinkle of sugar....the creaminess makes it a pleasure....the bitter finish causes the child to make a face, but only for a moment....the new presentation of oatmeal makes her a lover for life...delicious....’’’’can i have some more mommy??’

Oct 22, 2008 Pours pitch black with a thing tan head. Nose is predominantly roasted malt with a int of coffee and chocolate. Also same interesting dark fruit background? Almost feel like I get a slight whiff of cherries.
Flavor is intense on first sip. Coffee, bittersweet chocolate and roasted malt are what really hit you. Maybe a bit of oat slickness, but not much. Alcohol seems pretty forward on the first sip, but mellows considerably as the beer warms. A touch on the burnt bitter side, but overall pretty smooth and drinkable. Nice stout..

Oct 21, 2008 bottle from lilbeerdoctor, thanks! jet black, little head didn’t last long. roasted aroma with some coffee, but I don’t pick up any oats. Again, in the sip I don’t find any oats but hot alcohol, medium roast coffee and raw chocolate malt. The biting alcohol cuts through any possible smoothness or delicacy, but there is a thick, heavy, syrupy malt base with more coffee notes. overrated

Oct 20, 2008 Bomber...pours pitch black with a small tan head which shrinks to almost nothing quickly. Malt and more malt in the nose with a hint of chocolate and oat. Taste is very smooth for such a strong beer, balance between the malt, sweetness, and hops is great. Medium-thick mouth, leaves your mouth sticky. A very drinkable and enjoyable brew, highly recommended.

Oct 19, 2008 22 oz. bottle, 2008 vintage. Pours an opaque, black body with thin brown head that quickly dissapates. Aroma of dark malts, cocoa, and oats with hints of licorice and coffee. Flavor of roasted malts, oats, bitter chocolate with a hint of coffee and smoke. Finishes with roasted malts and bitter chocolate with a slight sugary sweetness. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel with a full body.

Oct 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a night black with a small brown head. Amazing sweet smells, almost candy-like, maybe black licorice. Very sweet entry, oat flavors come in late, followed my some nice molasses and black licorice, then some spicy hops. Almost creamy mouthfeel. Long bitter and alcohol on the finish. Fantastic!

Oct 19, 2008 black pour with nice tan head. somewhat muted aroma for the style, but a fantastic oat chocolate taste with terrific balance.
