Aug 26, 2009 Pours red-brown, black in the glass, with a tall, dark brown head. Aroma is a whiff of chocolate and molasses, but just a whiff. Flavor is overt alcohol floating over a malt body burnt to a blackstrap molasses, with enough chocolate elements to avoid overt astringency. Very full bodied. Despite the large head, feels somewhat still on the palate.

Aug 26, 2009 Interesting aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and oats. Pours a black color with brown highlights and a thin light brown head. Very good flavor of chocolate, roasted malt and oats over a light to medium body and very smooth, comfy texture. It’s solid stuff, the alcohol always remains hidden.

Aug 21, 2009 In short: A big full bodied boozy velvety oat beer that drinks easier that it should. Almost excellent
How: Bottle 22oz. Many times, fresh to 1 year old, not much difference
The look: Black body topped by a small tan head
In long: Nose of a hot chocolate without the warm fumes. Light-medium roastiness. Superb rich velvety body. Flavours of milk chocolate, oat, molasses, ots of caramel and toffee, a little boozy. Very low on the fruity side of things, I must have drank 3 bottles by myself and I never could pick a single fruit flavour. There’s something that resembles green grass in there but overall the beer could have used a little more hops. Sweetness seems adequate at first but feels a bit heavy when drinking a full bottle. Very good a but a bit cloying when drinking. Half a bottle is how to enjoy that beer. I will share it with a friend at the next opportunity. Next time I have a friend.

Aug 12, 2009 Bottle thanks to ... Tweety? Cletus? Damn, I forgot. About a year old. Pours nice and black with a one-finger tan head. Some slight oxidation on the nose; a bit of metal; some chocolately sweetness. Some oatmeal. Very sweet on the palate (from Southern Tier.... no!?!?!?) but quite good. I haven’t been impressed with other ST stouts I’ve had, but this is tasty.
