Sep 30, 2008 Tap @ Publick House, Brookline, MA. Pours a thick almost jet black with a slight brown head. Smell is heavy malt with chocolate and coffee detectable as well. Taste is chocolate, dissolving into a coffee characteristic with a sweetness that’s balanced by the hops. It’s a very solid beer.

Sep 30, 2008 bottle from beachbum25...thanks so much! Jet black pour wtih a small tan head. The nose is full of coffee, dried dark fruits and chocolate. I get a hint of molasses and some alcohol as well. The flavor is smooth and delicious. Molasses, chocolate, raisins, port wine and coffee are present. Mouthfeel is a tiny, tiny bit thinner than I would expect but this is a kick ass brew and I am very glad to have more coming!

Sep 29, 2008 Bottle from Provisions Market in St. Louis. The surprising aspects to me of this beer was how well it masked its 11 ABV, the dry finish, and the fact that it was not nearly as creamy as I expected from an oatmeal stout. Notes of soy, unsweetened cocoa powder, espresso, and molasses on the palate with dark stone fruits such as plum playing a supporting role, all of which contribute to a great complexity. Not quite as viscous as I expected. Finish is tannic.

Sep 28, 2008 Brown/black with thinn head, and ring aorund the glass. Boozy roasted malty notes are first noticed in the aroma department, but they are quickly joined by earthy, smkoed out fruits, mangos, vanilla and caramel. The body and flavors are of the "in your face" variety, nice.A vineous palate smashing and bittering, coffee roasted dusty quality to finish it out. A great brew overall.
