Jan 20, 2008 Sampled at MN Ratebeer Winter Gathering in Maplewood, MN and supplied by Stein. From a 22-oz bomber pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thin off-white head that has some good retention and lacing. Aroma of roasted dark malt, oatmeal, coffee, a touch of dark bittersweet chocolate and dark pitted fruits. Taste is full bodied, smooth, creamy with a dark roasted malt flavor with characteristics of molasses, raisins, and dark fruit. Finish is smooth, thick texture with a dark chocolate and molasses aftertaste. The alcohol warmth was a nice touch too.

Jan 20, 2008 [1028-20080106] 1pt6floz. Boozy oatmeal roasted malt aroma with some grassy notes. Black body with a quick foamy brown head. Burnt roasted chocolate malt flavour has a long finish. Full body is thick and smooth. Easy to drink, rich but subtle.

Jan 20, 2008 bottle complements of toddbates: Had this after GI bourbon county stout: aroma was roasted with some molasses and raisin. poured dark dark brown about a shade darker than cola, and not very much head for an oatmeal stout, a small quarter inch of tan head on the pour that completely disappeared and caused the beer to look like cola colored wine. Flavor has some dry fruits especially rasins, and also some molasses, there was a little bit of tobacco as well. mouthfeel was full and oily, but could have actually been more so. overall a good beer, but not a great impy stout

Jan 19, 2008 very nice..about as dark as it gets here..aroma of bitter chocolate and coffee..flavor of chocolate covered oats, coffee, dark fruits, floral characteristics, and a touch of metal..perfect creamy, enveloping beer leads to a perfect mouthfeel..dark, dark, dark!

Jan 17, 2008 A great initial aroma jumps out of this one... very oaty, some malts but with no hop content. Great dark black body for a stout with a thin, very light, ivory head... perfect. Flavor is amazing, light oating leading into a perfect malt content. Somewhat like Grapenuts cereal... with a light chocolate dusting (ie: the malts coming through). Ending is smooth with a VERY light hop accent.
